Pietro Privitera's WunderGram at Torino
Pietro Privitera (Milan, 1953) presents a personal WunderGram at an exhibition in Turin, featuring ninety photographs taken with a Nokia smartphone (41-megapixel camera). The images, modified using fifty types of filter layers and printed in 21×21 cm format on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, blend everyday, architectural, and unexpected scenes into real and fantastical stories. The exhibition stages a wonder cabinet conceived as an Instagram gallery, where the digital value of the photographic image transforms into pictorial narrative, evoking the aesthetics of Futurism, Metaphysics, and abstraction. The show highlights Privitera's poetic, chromatic, and formal reflection.
