Il luogo e lo sguardo

Il luogo e lo sguardo identifies problems in the history of contemporary photography providing with new methodologies and many levels of readings of the photographic images.

Antonella Russo delves into central issues in the history of photography ranging from the politics of the gaze, the photography practices of Surrealism , the imaging of the South of Italy, the paparazzi’s epic and other topics which are investigated and discussed on the basis of new theoretical insights.

“Il luogo e lo sguardo has the merit to dispel all previous hazy interpretations and to provide us with a new understanding and thought-provoking consideration on contemporary Italian photography.” (Giorgio Avigdor)
