Maurizio Galimberti tra Polaroid/Ready Made e le lezioni americane di Italo Calvino

Le Stanze della Fotografia presents, from 10 April to 27 July, 2025, on the first floor, the exhibition Maurizio Galimberti tra Polaroid/Ready Made e le lezioni americane di Italo Calvino, curated by Denis Curti.

Internationally known for his portraits of celebrities like Lady Gaga, Robert De Niro, Johnny Depp and Umberto Eco, and for having published books and staged site-specific exhibitions on New York, Paris, Milan, Rome and Venice, Maurizio Galimberti presents some of his most iconic Polaroid mosaics in Venice, including those of Johnny Depp, Barbara Bouchet and Angelica Huston, in a show that is divided into six sections: Cenacolo, History, Sport, Portraits, Taylor Swift and Places.

His creations, characterised by a multifaceted and fragmented vision of reality, are taken apart and put back together as in a mosaic, offering a profound reflection on perception and on the multiplicity of viewpoints. The images are almost always manipulated at the development stage, exerting pressure with simple tools – like pens and wooden sticks – directly onto the surface of the support, or assembled into mosaic-like compositions, in which each photograph contributes to the formation of an end result able to create a spectacular overall vision.
