A photography exhibit of daily life in Florence
Opening this Saturday Feb 20th 2010, “Sguardi Quotidiani” – Daily life, or daily looking…
Deaphoto is a local photography association that I met thanks to Barcamp at Le Murate. They specialize in photographic exploration of the changing urban landscape of the city of Florence. Related to this project, in the exhibit “Sguardi Quotidiani”, six artists show personal reactions to civic or private spaces.
Sabrina Ingrassia looks at the Ponte all’Indiano 30 years after its construction (if you’ve never taken this bridge, you almost have to try it – it seems to go on forever). Sara Severini explores the new world of the screen (TV or computer) inside the home that is the newest location of socialization, and I can truly and sadly relate to that. And Pellegrino Bonito contrasts the new pedestrian area near the Duomo, full of tourists and shoppers, with deserted nighttime scenes of Firenze Nova, a not-too-distant suburb (see photo).
This exhibit takes place walking distance from my house in a space I didn’t know existed. It looks really interesting and I’ll be sure to stop by and take a look.
