exhibitions

The novelty of this project is the participation of photographers
coming from every corner of the world, the way used to contact them
and the great quality of the images on show.
The participants are 64, more than 50% foreigners, coming from the USA,
Canada, Brazil, Australia, the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Estonia, Greece,
The Netherlands, Israel, Hungary.
Many of them are already well-known artists and have participated to various
international exhibitions.
The curators, Maria Luisa Corapi and Anna Leporati, both fond of photography,
have contacted and selected the participants through a famous photo sharing
web site.
Photographers were asked to produce works whose subject should represent
“a look beyond”, in other words images able to distract the patients’ eyes
and to lead their minds elsewhere than the hospital walls.
Artists greeted enthusiastically the appeal of solidarity, showing a complete
empathy with the topic and, thanks to the web, they could reply immediately
and send their works.
As required by the organization, all the works, printed on aluminum, are in a
square size, 75×75 cm, unframed and without glass, “bare”, so they can show
themselves directly, without any mediation in the space where they just
represent “a look beyond”. From now on, cancer patients, in the Medical
Oncology Department directed by Stefano Molica, will be accompanied by a
privileged photographic path, expression of an extraordinary universal solidarity.
