An artist born in Belgrade in 1965 and resident in Toronto, Ljubodrag Andric made his Venice debut in 2016 at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia.

With a partnership between the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and BUILDING in Milan, the exhibition features a dialogue between the photographic works created during the artist’s stays in Italy and those arising from his encounter with the historic buildings of Jaipur, Lucknow and other places in the heart of India. Particularly interesting is Andric’s gaze on the Palladian architecture of the monumental complex of the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore.

In the images, the relationships between the form, atmosphere, light and shadow of the places emerge, in a journey that transforms the architectural object into metaphor. In particular, Andric has investigated architecture over recent years that reveals organic qualities, unpredictable and labyrinthine pathways and well as providing emotional materials.
Beyond the peculiarities of the places photographed, the exhibition focuses on the originality of the language developed by Andric. It will be hosted in Venice in the rooms on the second floor of Palazzo Cini between April and September, and will then continue in the spaces of BUILDING in Milan.
