Walter Guadagnini on His Vision for CAMERA in Turin

Walter Guadagnini has been at the helm of CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin since October 1, 2016, with a vision to broaden the center's photographic offerings. His inaugural exhibition, "L'Italia di Magnum. Da Henri Cartier-Bresson a Paolo Pellegrin," showcased Italian photography on an international stage. He appreciates the dedicated staff and the audience's engagement, promoting thoughtfully designed popular exhibitions. Having previously served as the director of Galleria Civica di Modena from 1995 to 2005, he highlights CAMERA's flexibility compared to larger public institutions. Notable collaborations include a Paolo Ventura exhibition with Teatro Regio and initiatives with Reggia di Venaria. Alongside Diane Dufour and Elio Grazioli, he co-directs Fotografia Europea. CAMERA is also digitizing its archives with MiBACT and is co-producing the forthcoming Erik Kessels exhibition with NRW-Forum Düsseldorf.
