Luisa Lambri's 'Autoritratto' at PAC Milan Reshapes Gaze Through Minimalist Photography

The PAC in Milan presents 'Autoritratto', a solo exhibition dedicated to Italian artist Luisa Lambri (born 1969 in Como, lives in Milan), who is better known abroad than in her home country. The show features her photographic works that isolate unexpected details of iconic architectures by architects such as Álvaro Siza, Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Giuseppe Terragni, as well as the Sheats-Goldstein House. Lambri's rigorous minimalist approach de-centers the viewer's gaze, re-educating it without seeking easy lyricism. The installation itself is a masterpiece, creating an exponential reading where photographs interact with each other and with the PAC's space designed by Ignazio Gardella. The exhibition culminates in the parterre with the 'Untitled (Sheats-Goldstein house)' series, which envelops the visitor. References to artists like Lucio Fontana are present but quickly fade, allowing an ambiguous atmosphere of homage and critical analysis. Lambri's work calls for a general re-education of the gaze that persists beyond the gallery walls. The exhibition is curated by the PAC team and runs at the museum in Milan.
