Gabriele Basilico | Metropoli

Devoted to a true master in the field of Italian and international photography, the exhibition will be focusing on the theme of the man-made landscape, of its development and of the historical stratifications of a ceaselessly changing city, its outskirts and its surroundings.

More than 250 photographs ranging from the 1960s to the 2000s, some of them on display here for the very first time: the exhibition, curated by Giovanna Calvenzi and Filippo Maggia, will be showcasing some of the work that Basilico produced in the numerous cities he photographed in the course of his lifetime, including Beirut, Milan, Rome, Palermo, Naples, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Montecarlo, Paris, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, London, Boston, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow, San Francisco, New York and Shanghai, juxtaposed in an interplay of similarities and differences, of assonance and dissonance, offering different viewpoints that perfectly capture his varied approach to interpreting the built environment.
