"PHOTOGRAPHY IS CONTEMPORARY ART"
Immaginarti Isola - Chiara Arturo

“Et l'amour, où tout est facile,
Où tout est donné dans l'instant;
Il existe au milieu du temps
La possibilité d'une île.”
Michel Houellebecq

The works exhibited in the  waterfront location of the Bottega di Gandria evoke a complex and stratified landscape. In this 2020 marked by distances and closures, a meaningful collaboration sprouted from afar, with the desire to overcome them. By belonging to a common ideal archipelago and  through the exchange of texts, maps and pictures, of today and yesterday, emerges a work that questions the bristling and separating contours of the lands, their relationship with the waters and opens white page windows on the future and on elsewhere. Chiara Arturo lays a tactile gaze on surfaces and landscapes, diluted by filters and everyday atmospheres, which reveal their subjectivity. Her photography questions perception and the creative process, together with crossings, boundaries and encroachments. ​
