The Phair 2025: Photography Reimagined Across Media in Turin

The sixth edition of The Phair, curated by Lorenzo Bruni, took place at OGR in Turin, featuring nearly 50 exhibitors. The fair challenges traditional photography by presenting works that blend photography with sculpture, painting, and new media. Director Roberto Casiraghi hopes OGR will become a permanent home after previous venues like Borsa Valori and Torino Esposizioni. Notable stands include MC2 Gallery's 'Fake Reality' with Dune Varela (pigments on Carrara marble) and Pietro Catarinella (AI-generated images painted in oil); Alberto Damian Gallery's dialogue between Marialba Russo and Lori Sammartino; Galleria Tucci Russo's monographic display of Jan Vercruysse's 'Camera Oscura' series; Galerie P's 'Another Reality' with Julia Fullerton-Batten, Frédéric Fontenoy, and Bart Ramakers; Galleria Jaeger Art's presentation of Gregor Törzs, Bastiaan Woudt, and George Hoyningen-Huene; Umberto Benappi's solo show of Paolo Pellegrin's raptor photographs from a Kyoto residency; Kuckei + Kuckei's works by Barbara Probst, Miguel Rothschild, and Lilly Lulay; and Luisa Catucci Gallery's political dialogue between Nikita Teryoshin (arms fairs) and Zak van Biljon (infrared nature photography).
