In the last few weeks we have written about photographic exhibitions that are (or will be held) in Italy. Among these, for example, we find the exhibition dedicated to Carla Cerati (Form and Movement) at the Leica Store in Milan or ARcTic Memories in Genoa. From 24 January, still in Milan, the exhibition dedicated to the latest project entitled The Garden’s Tale of the photographer Alessandra Calò.

Like other creatives, Calò too used the time spent forcedly within the walls of the house in the period 2020 and 2021 to carry out his new project which was then completed in 2022. So that was not all “lost time” but time used differently. The exhibition in the Milanese context was curated by Elena Carottidirector of the exhibition space Lab 1930. Here is the info.
The photographic exhibition The Garden’s Tale by Alessandra Calò
As mentioned above, the project was developed in the two-year period 2020-2021 and completed the following year. It is contemporary photography that sees still life subjects with household objects or natural and wild subjects. In general this generates a contrast between nature and what is created by human beings. The exhibition includes 11 photographs which have been printed on cotton paper with different dimensions, making the space occupied more heterogeneous.

To further enrich the exhibition there is also a critical essay by Lóránd Hegyi (historian and art critic). Hegyi himself writes about the work of the creative who “Alessandra Calò guides the viewer into her nocturnal universe and reveals an extremely acute and poetic vision of limitless variations of almost invisible micro-realities and of small, seemingly insignificant elements of nature and the human environment. The viewer enters this poetic universe paradoxically not through light but through darkness; the imagery replaces the documentation of things. The less the viewer can see, the more he can perceive. The less light radiates things, the more the recipient understands the essential life of things“.

The photographer herself gives hers “interpretation” of his latest creative effort taking up the thought of Giorgio Agamben “contemporary is the one who keeps his gaze fixed on his time, to perceive not the lights, but the darkness […] it is he who knows how to see this darkness, who is able to write by dipping his pen in the darkness of the present […]“.
There photo exhibition The Garden’s Tale Of Alessandra Calò will be visited in the following ways. By appointment every Tuesday and Thursday from 16 to 19 (starting from 24 January), the open days will be on the weekends of 28-29 January, 18-19 February and 4-5 March (from 15 to 18). The exhibition space is Lab 1930 located in via Mantova 21 in Milan.
