Silvia Camporesi's Dual Rome Exhibitions Explore Photography as Temporal Rupture

Two parallel exhibitions in Rome offer a complementary reading of Silvia Camporesi's photographic research. At z2o Sara Zanin gallery, 'Uno strappo nel cielo di carta' presents a fragile landscape of submerged places and barely hinted presences, transforming the landscape into a perceptual threshold. The title references a Pirandellian passage, and the exhibition is accompanied by a critical dialogue with Marinella Paderni. At the Centro della Fotografia Roma, 'C'è un tempo e un luogo,' curated by Federica Muzzarelli, assembles key series from fifteen years of work, creating a visual atlas where landscape becomes a fracture between real and artificial. The title is inspired by Peter Weir's film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock.' The exhibition spans reinvented Venice, Armenian stratifications, abandoned Italian villages, and visionary architectures from the Mirabilia series. Together, the exhibitions reveal a photography that seeks suspension rather than immediacy, positioning landscape as a narrative device where past and present coexist.
