Lamberto Teotino's Dreamlike Photographic Interventions at Visionaria Art Space

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Lamberto Teotino (born 1974, Naples) presents a series of photographic works at Visionaria Art Space in Rome, where he intervenes on vintage black-and-white photographs from old archives. By overlaying geometric or natural elements—often placed directly on the subjects' faces—Teotino enhances rather than negates their identity, creating an enigmatic, dreamlike dimension that challenges temporal categories. The artist's aesthetic invites viewers to question perception and meaning, embracing doubt as a method of knowledge. The exhibition is reviewed by Calogero Pirrera, an art historian specialized in modern and contemporary art, video art, museum education, and cultural planning, based in Rome.
