The exhibition features a selection of photographs by Stefano Graziani, some pre-existing and some previously unpublished, which dialogue with each other without referring to a single theme.
The exhibition "STEFANO GRAZIANI. Reality Show," curated by Francesco Zanot, features a selection of Stefano Graziani's photographs, some pre-existing and some unpublished, which dialogue with each other without referring to a single theme.
Architectures, objects, nature, cities and people appear in his photographs without ever imposing themselves as dominant subjects, but as elements of a complex and layered plot. More or less decipherable, the photographs presented here stand together because they belong to the same historical moment, the same time: an open, suspended, questioned time. Dysfunctional by choice, they eschew the logic of the useful and the necessary, letting the gaze and thought get lost among detours, details, clues. Graziani works against expectations, constructing his works as open paintings that induce dispersion, the proliferation of side narratives, escape.
Everything one sees is real, yet sometimes it seems not to be. Graziani reflects on the status of photography today, within the vortex that brings documentation and simulation together. His works are evidence and denial at the same time. It is reality exhibited. Exposed. This is not an exhibition of reality, but about reality. Reality show.
Throughout the duration of the exhibitions, TAM offers regular open days with free admission, guided tours and special events. The full program is available at www.tam.usi.ch.
