Photofestival 2020: second cycle of exhibitions at Palazzo Castiglioni

Source: HW Upgrade added 17th Oct 2020

Complicated period but which does not stop the renewed formula of the Photofestival 2020 with the start of the second cycle of exhibitions which will start on 19 October and will continue until 3 November. All in the frame of Palazzo Castiglioni in Milan , renamed as “Palazzo della Fotografia” .

Inside there will be five new exhibits addressing different themes but with the great common denominator at the center: photography . For example we find sport captured in black and white, a travel diary in cultures different from ours, Milan that develops vertically, the search for infinity or scene photography. The inauguration will be Monday 19 October (18. 00) while it will be possible to visit the exhibition from Monday to Friday from 8. 30 at 18. 00 .

The exhibitions on display at the Photofestival 2020

In this new exhibition cycle of the Photofestival 2020 there will be a way to see the photographs of Alessandro Trovati made in collaboration with Canon, dedicated to black and white sports. There will be 16 photos in large format that tell the story of the Trovati project that is evolving with the passage of time. No color, letting shadows and lights speak as well as obviously the sports protagonists of the captured images.

Marzia Rizzo instead focuses on an essential photograph linked to philosophical-mathematical themes between Fibonacci and the golden section. The focus is on the aesthetics and musicality of photography and thus starts from complex subjects until slowly reaching silence, combining space with the lack of sounds.

Angelo Impiduglia instead looks at Milano Verticale. The photographer looks at vertical development as a natural tendency of the human being towards the sky. You can see the change in the city reality with the passing of the years and the needs but also some possible negative implications related to this idea. But you still look from the bottom up.

Paolo Pobbiati instead focuses on snapshots of lost worlds. We talk about distant worlds and cultures that are difficult to understand for our culture: for example the pygmies of the Congo, the Kalash (Pakistan and Afghanistan), the Gurungs and Newari of the Himalayas, the Bedouins of Sinai, the Tibetan and Mongolian nomads, the reindeer men of Mongolia, the hafar of Danakil. Cultures that are disappearing or changing to follow the change in the world.

Benedetta Pitscheider with a discreet eye looks at the scene photography between stage and behind the scenes, rooms rehearsal, scenography and installation studies. Yes
