H+, MATTHIEU GAFSOU

Pinacoteca Nazionale Palazzo Pepoli Campogrande, Bologna, 2019

Foto/Industria 2019 is the fourth edition of the Biennial and presents celebrated names in the history of photography, whose images now form part of a shared iconic heritage, great contemporary artists and young internationally established photographers, showcasing techniques ranging from the purest and most traditional uses of photography to the most innovative experimentation.

The heroic dimension of the room hosting the Gafsou exhibition inspired a triumph of volumes scattered across the graphic field of the floor. A series of monoliths supports the works and diffuses light into the environment, giving the illusion of holding the entire space of the exhibition. The combination of light and color (the green of the cinematic chroma key) generates an aura around the works, evoking a dimension of absolute artificiality.
