Luca Gilli's Stark Interiors

THE BASEMENT FLOOR OF VIA SARFATTI 25 WILL FEATURE A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SURREAL, STARK AND DILATED SPACES CAPTURED BY THE ARTIST

Photographs taken indoors with flat and milky lighting and with a long exposure that dilates and even erases the room. The result? Pictures that are never documentary reports for architects, but stark and surreal rooms. This is the narrative structure of Luca Gilli’s photos, which will be shown through 31 May in the foyer of the Sala Ristorante on the Bocconi University campus (Via Sarfatti 25, basement floor).

The exhibit, organized in the area dedicated to photography at Bocconi in collaboration with the MIA Photo Fair and the Paola Sosio Contemporary Art Gallery, is called Interno in Surreale. It is a solo show that presents a combination of works of art from several series (Blank 2008-, Raw State 2013-, Un Musée Après 2014-), incorporating different subjects from various periods, to create a truly unique itinerary.

“His work is a kind of ‘impressionist’ photography,” says Matteo Bergamini, art critic, curator and head director of Exibart. “Through an invasion of light, he brings a certain abstraction of reality to the surface.”

The exhibit will be open Mondays through Fridays from 9am to 8pm and Saturdays from 10am to 6pm.
