FOTOGRAFIA FUTURISTA

curated by Giovanni Lista

 
 

Giovanni Lista introducing the exhibition "Fotografia Futurista" at the Carla Sozzani Gallery, Milan, June 2015

Now that we are temporarily closed we will continue to share online content, exhibitions, interviews, videos from Fondazione Sozzani archives over the coming weeks.

Here a presentation of previously unseen introduction to the exhibition “Fotografia Futurista” by Italian critic Giovanni Lista celebrating our twenty five years anniversary.

On the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2015, the Carla Sozzani Gallery presented "Fotografia Futurista” curated by Giovanni Lista. The exhibition explored, through the arc of half a century, the way in which the futurists took possession of the photographic language as a medium to capture the pulse of life in this new century, and to transmute “natural” reality into a process of active creation and evolution.

 

Divided into four sections, from the destruction of the mimicry of nature, to the innovative research of the Twenties and Thirties, the exhibition "Futurist Photography" includes the formalized photodynamism of the Bragaglia' brothers, many portraits of Depero, photomontages by Tato, and even photo-performance. In tune with the best European avant-garde revolutions, futurist works explored liberal and eccentric tastes, the hyperbole of grand visions and ideas well outside of the canons of bourgeois society.

 

The exhibition catalogue, "Fotografia Futurista" curated by Giovanni Lista and published by Carla Sozzani Editore, brought together the photographic research and the new visual codes enabling to better understand the Futurists and their enduring influence.
