“Soglie”, in Pozzuoli, is the photographic exhibition by Martina Esposito with shots that tell the experience of the lockdown at home with a lot of introspection.
On Saturday 3 October 2020 the exhibition “Soglie” by the photographer Martina Esposito at the ArtGarage of Pozzuoli. This is an interesting and beautiful photographic project, curated by Sara Fosco, in which particular moments of her quarantine and the relative lockdown due to the Coronavirus emergency are immortalized.
Martina Esposito, to realize this idea, he transformed the rooms of his home into dark rooms with the light of a pinhole and, thanks to this exhibition, it is now possible to admire his works until the 16 October.
As a photographer she has won many awards including the prestigious Tiziano Campolmi Prize awarded on the occasion of Setup Contemporary Art Fair 2018. The exhibition is the first appointment of the FotoArt in Garage review curated by Gianni Biccari.
Thresholds: a lockdown journey through photographs
With the exhibition "Soglie", the photographer wants to give a sort of "photographic response to the quarantine diaries scanned during the emergency". As mentioned, his rooms have become dark rooms, transforming the walls, which normally enclose us, into an external world to which we all want to return.
COVID-19"
In his photographs he tells us not only the need for that escape that we all have tried, but it goes further, This evasion is just the push given to the project it speaks to us of domestic spaces, of habits we no longer take for granted and the condition of the so-called Millenials, considered the generation "without a future".
A profound introspective work, very particular for an artist forced by the lockdown to immobility, and which well blends visions of inside and outside. Some photos are characterized by the documentary cut, while in others real objects and projections overlap is they make the viewer question what are the physical boundaries that generally limit us because they are imposed from the outside, but also on those self-imposed and internal boundaries, be they individual or collective.
The exhibition includes nine photos taken with Nikon d750, 24-70 f / 2.8 lens and the use of a pinhole.
