The Il Fotogramma association, which now has more than 30 members, celebrates its first 25 years of association life with the exhibition ‘15.170 NAGO_TORBOLE IDENTITY AND LANDSCAPES’ (15 authors, 170 images), a photographic investigation project that I would define as choral, under the curatorship of photographer Luca Chistè, hosted once again in the evocative spaces of the Forte Alto di Nago.
15.170 / NAGO_TORBOLE Identità e Paesaggi
The photographic exhibition focuses on the identity and landscape of the two territories covered by the photographic survey, in which 15 photographers took part. The exhibition grew out of an intensive workshop organised by ‘Fotogramma’ with a focus on the relationship between photography and the territory.
A multifaceted narrative
The structure of the exhibition consists of seven thematic areas, within which, the curatorship work has brought together the different authorial contributions of the participants, in an exhibition storyboard that invites visitors to discover, through the use of 70 photographic panels and 170 images, the multiplicity of reading levels offered by the ‘human landscapes’ of Nago and Torbole, by which is meant that which connotes, the identity of a place and, specifically, of a territory (the urban landscape, the natural landscape, the anthropic dimension, the environmental dimension and, on a broad spectrum, the human activities of those who, resident or in transit, live in a given context, contributing to modifying it incessantly).
The sections into which the exhibition is divided are as follows:
WORK IN SCENE: FACES AND PLACES / COMPARATIVE URBAN ITINERARIES / REGENERATION AND RESILIENCE / LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPE / CROSSING THE LANDSCAPE / DEVOTIONAL ROUTES / WINDSURFING
A Dialogue between Photography and Territory
The exhibition thus represents a dialogue between photography and territory, between author and subjects, between past and present, with an attentive and participatory look at the events of the landscape and those who populate and animate it, even in the seasons of tourism.
Each photograph is a piece of a broader story, and the set of images that emerges from the exhibition offers a multifaceted and articulate reading perspective, capable of reflecting, with a good representation of subjects and subjects, the complexity and richness of Nago and Torbole.
