Photography, painting, video and installations all together in a major joint exhibition presenting the many forms of the idea of landscape in contemporary art. The continual modifications in the identity of visual languages in reaction to the emergence of new technologies, the reconsideration of the very concept of geography, transfigured by the relative nature of distance. These are just a couple of the many topics proposed by Perduti nel Paesaggio/Lost in Landscape, an exploration that covers a huge range of interpretations of places: Richard Mosse’s color-shifted territories of the Congo, Gabriele Basilico’s images of postwar Beirut, the miniatures of megacities created by Gabriel Orozco, the isolated nocturnes of Todd Hido. Landscape that has been documented, invented or reconstructed, in an exploration of the infinite ways of imagining space and its meaning.
