Davide Tranchina's Montecristo Photos at Copenhagen Photo Festival
Italian photographer Davide Tranchina (Bologna, 1972) presents his series "40 days & 40 nights in Montecristo" at the Italian Embassy in Denmark, curated by Irene Campolmi and Luca Panaro. The exhibition runs from June 4 to 11, 2017, in Hellerup, Copenhagen. The series was shot on Montecristo, one of Italy's most fascinating and mysterious islands, part of the Tuscan archipelago, long inaccessible to visitors. Tranchina's images blend reality and fiction, combining starry skies with artificially constructed elements created in the darkroom, challenging viewers' perception of authenticity. The show is part of the Copenhagen Photo Festival, Denmark's most important photography event, held annually since 2010 during the first two weeks of June.
