Political Photography Collective Exhibition at MLZ Art Dep Trieste

A group exhibition at MLZ Art Dep in Trieste explores the political function of images and their power to shape reality. The show, organized in collaboration with the research platform POIUYT, features artists who appropriate mass communication strategies for critical purposes. Discipula, a collective of MFG Paltrinieri, Mirko Smerdel, and Tommaso Tanini, presents campaigns for Aura, a fictional corporation that privatizes social services. Alessandro Sambini exhibits a bedroom with fan fetishes from a TV game show where contestants replicate media videos. The Cool Couple (Niccolò Benetton and Simone Santilli) intertwines competitive meditation trends with the Anthropocene environmental theme.
