It is simply about a key providing access to a universe. About preventing us from becoming blind and indifferent, about keeping our senses alert. About the simple, generous gift to a world that is capable of unfolding itself as soon as we know how to attach ourselves to it, that is to say, to pay attention. Christian Cajoulle writing on Léonie Hampton work
Silvia De Giorgi is an artist and photographer who lives and works between Bolzano, Italy and Oslo, Norway.

The photographs of Perckhammer (1895-1965) are the same time a subjective account an individual destiny and a valuable historical documentation of time and space. Half a century after his death, in a kiosk in South Tyrol, Ingrid Hora (born 1976) finds a yellowed postcard depicting a colourful collage. Intrigued, she decides to find out more about who took the picture and discovers Perckhammer’s rich body of work.
Zizola’s sea is a sea of subtraction, in which signs, analogies and things that recall other things emerge. The sea becomes sky and thus becomes a constellation that refers to archetypes at the origin of time.
Drawings, human figures, ancient representations, signs in the night, distant images of a powerful nature in close contact with man all appear in his photos.

There are few countries in Europe where such deeply entrenched stereotypes of women are as widespread as in Italy. Young women in skimpy costumes and heavy make-up have been lasciviously dancing their way through the evening TV program for the past 65 years or so, and only rare exceptions among them have not had cosmetic surgery. The mother is an icon yet on average a woman is murdered every three days in this land of cavaliers and charmers, most often by her intimate partner.
Così fan tutti. 1974 – 1983 is a widespread exhibition that presents two unpublished series of portraits from the private archives of Giusi D’Orsi and Jean-Pierre Maurer, which were shot between the seventies and eighties as part of the famous advertising campaign Bevo Jägermeister perché.

Marilù Eustachio is a unique personality. She comes from Rome. She speaks Roman and thinks Roman, she moves in a Roman circle of friends and ambiance, but, idiosyncratically enough, she feels like a Tyrolean Roman. Not just because she was born in Merano: she spent years of her childhood in the Vinschgau region, her mother came from Malls, and until quite recently she came every year to South Tyrol, to Ums bei Völs.
The Realpolitik project was born in the form of fanzines published by Cesura Publishing, the editorial brace of the internationally renowned collective of photojournalists among which Santese is one of the founders and Valli is a member, with the aim of thinking, in an ironic and grotesque way, about the iconography that the Italian political class of the so-called third Republic attributes to itself and feeds daily through images published on social media.

“He is the Albrecht Dürer of cities and of modern times: the German photographer Bialobrzeski portrays human habitats just as the elder artist portrayed members of the clergy, rulers or the life of the Madonna – personages from history, captured for posterity.
