Franco Ferro's 'Yesod' Explores Ancestral Sea at Massimo Ligreggi

Franco Ferro's exhibition 'Yesod' at Massimo Ligreggi gallery in Catania presents large-scale photographs that use the sea as a purifying ritual. The works depict bathers alone or in groups moving in a primordial liquid, combining seemingly insignificant voids with scenes of play, walks, and love gestures. Curated by Enzo Gabriele Lanza, the show runs in 2022. Ferro, born in Catania in 1964, employs technical tricks to create dreamlike atmospheres, breaking from photographic realism to bridge the tangible and imaginary. The sea is central to spiritual and physical balance.
