True Fictions: Fotografia visionaria dagli anni settanta a oggi/Visionary photography from the 1970s until today
W028825 | $30.00 / 10% library disc.
Exhibition Catalog
Ed. by Walter Guadagnini. Palazzo Magnani, Reggio Emilia, 2020.
128 pp. 96 ills. (chiefly col.). 24 x 17 cm. Bilingual in English and Italian. Paperbound.
ISBN 9788836647743
From the late 1970s on, photographers experimented with making pictures that combined sculpture and performance in staged environments. True Fictions looks at works by James Casabere, Sandy Skoglund, Alison Jackson, Jeff Wall, Cindy Sherman and Laurie Simmons, among others. The volume is dedicated to the phenomenon of staged photography, the trend that has revolutionized the photographic language since the 1980s. Through over one hundred works, the volume tells how photography was able to reach the heights of fantasy and invention between the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century, previously entrusted almost exclusively to cinema and painting. Goldfish invading the rooms, icefalls in deserts, invented cities, Marilyn Monroe and Lady D. shopping together: all this can happen thanks to real movie sets set up to build a parallel reality, or thanks to new technologies and in particular through the increasingly sophisticated use of Photoshop, released in 1990. Photography, the realm of documentation and (presumed) objectivity, becomes the realm of fantasy, invention and subjectivity, completing the last decisive evolution in its history. works by: Jeff Wall, Cindy Sherman, James Casebere, Sandy Skoglund, Yasumasa Morimura, Laurie Simmons, David Lachapelle, Bernard Faucon, Eileen Cowin, Bruce Charlesworth, David Levinthal, Paolo Ventura, Lori Nix, Miwa Yanagi, Alison Jackson, Julia Fullerton Batten, Jung Yeondoo, Jiang Pengyi.
