Carlo Valsecchi Photographs ACPV Architects in Milan Exhibition and Book
The exhibition at Palazzo Morando in Milan presents Carlo Valsecchi's photographs of architectural projects by ACPV ARCHITECTS (Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel). The show accompanies the photobook "ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel as seen by Carlo Valsecchi" published by Silvana Editoriale, a twelve-year project documenting the studio's work from 2000 to 2020 across Italy, Germany, and Taiwan. Valsecchi's research centers on light, space, and time, transforming architecture into hyper-narratives through his lens. The photographs, printed site-specific in large formats, create an immersive urban experience. Critic Francesco Zanot notes the anti-monumental, relational nature of the architectures, captured in context. The exhibition uses the palace's own perspective devices to create spatial-temporal portals, with Patricia Viel emphasizing that architecture exists in the moment and must be experienced firsthand.
