Carlo Mollino's Photography Exhibition at CAMERA Torino

CAMERA in Torino presents 'L’occhio magico di Carlo Mollino. Fotografie 1934-1973', a major exhibition focusing on the photography of the renowned architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905-1973). The show features 180 photographs, including Polaroids, black-and-white, and color prints, spanning his entire career. Mollino's photographic work encompasses architecture, interiors, travel, horses, mirrors, cars (notably the Bisiluro he designed for the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans), airplanes, mountains, and female nudes. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Centro Italiano per la Fotografia, the Politecnico di Torino, the Archivi della Biblioteca Gabetti, and the Fondo Carlo Mollino. It highlights Mollino's role as an advocate for photography as a major art form, evidenced by his 1949 book 'Il messaggio dalla camera oscura'. The display is divided into four sections, including 'Fantasie di un quotidiano impossibile', and features photomontages, optical illusions, and perspective tricks. The exhibition has attracted record visitor numbers.
