Collective Photography Exhibition Explores Nude Through Analog Lenses in Turin
A group show titled 'Pelle' (Skin) at Artgallery37 in Turin brings together emerging photographers working with analog techniques to explore the nude. Curated by Alessandro Santi, the exhibition opens with Ivan Cazzola's 'Naked,' setting a tone that balances color and grayscale. Many works exclude the face, reducing the image to lines and forms that emphasize structure over portraiture. The curator imposed the use of analog photography, challenging the artists to work within its constraints. The show invites viewers to complete the narrative through their own interpretation. The text was produced during the 2017/2018 Critical Writing course of the Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies biennium at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti.
