The show

CAMERA - Italian Center for Photography proposes, from 18 July to 29 September, the "Crack" exhibition by the photographer Jacopo Benassi. The sixty images that make up "Crack" will be set up in the Sala Grande and in the long corridor of CAMERA, a project that Jacopo Benassi has created by focusing on the relationship between classicism and contemporaneity in the bodies and in the bonds that individuals establish with men and women. environments.

"Crack" - comments Walter Guadagnini, curator of the exhibition - is an atlas of the body, elaborated between the extremes of ancient plastic and contemporary physical flagrance. The result is the underlining not only of the decay lurking both for the human body and for the sculpted body, but also, and perhaps more, of the possibility of recomposition of fractures, breaks and the fascination that these elements also take on in our reading of the body. and shape. The framing of the individual works and the entire surprising set-up of the exhibition also contribute to this vision, which are an integral part of the exhibition project and load the images with a further, vital tension.

The exhibition is produced by Fotografia Europea of Reggio Emilia.
