Nino Migliori retrospective at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris
The Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris is hosting a major retrospective of Italian photographer Nino Migliori, titled 'La matière des reves', from January 17 to February 25, 2018. The exhibition spans over sixty years of his career, beginning with black-and-white documentary shots of postwar Italy—from his native Emilia to the South—capturing everyday life. Migliori later transitioned from photorealism to experimentation, creating series such as Ossidazioni, Pirogrammi, and Cellogrammi through direct intervention on film and photographic plates. In the 1980s, he adopted Polaroid technology, producing the series 'I luoghi di Morandi'. His recent work explores light reflecting off ancient sculptures, offering viewers a distorted, unsettling perception of illuminated artworks.
