Luigi Ghirri, Paolo Icaro and Carlo Scarpa in Dialogue at Fondazione Querini Stampalia

The exhibition 'Le pietre del cielo' at Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice brings together works by sculptor Paolo Icaro, photographer Luigi Ghirri, and architect Carlo Scarpa. The show explores the interplay between sculpture, photography, and architecture, with Scarpa's interior design taking center stage. Icaro's site-specific installation 'Spazi di spazio' and his other works from the 1960s to today engage in dialogue with Ghirri's photographs of deserted landscapes and architectural details. The exhibition inverts the conventional relationship between object and environment, requiring visitors to actively engage with the works. The title references a phrase used by poet Pablo Neruda and architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha.
