Mentre questi possono essere identificati come i soggetti principali su cui ha puntato il suo interesse, l&#8217;oggetto della sua ricerca ha tuttavia pi\u00f9 a che fare con l&#8217;analisi &#8211; e l&#8217;interrogazione &#8211; del concetto di percezione, cio\u00e8 la nostra capacit\u00e0 di vedere e interpretare la realt\u00e0 attraverso l&#8217;uso sperimentale della fotografia stessa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Come sottolinea Christopher Phillips nella presentazione del catalogo <em>Site Specific 2003- 2013<\/em>: <em>\u00abBecause Barbieri never regarded the site specific_ series as documentary in intent, instead seeing it as part of an effort to enlarge the scope of photography\u2019s visual language, he continually sought out new means of picturing the cities&#8230; Introduction of out-of-register&#8230; solid bright color&#8230; color photographs and negative reversal black-and- <\/em>white images&#8230;\u00bb.<br \/>\nIl <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centroculturalrecoleta.org\/nuevositio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centro Cultural Recoleta<\/a>&nbsp;in collaborazione con <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fondazionemaxxi.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAXXI<\/a> e <strong>Glocal Project Consulting<\/strong> dedica una importante mostra monografica a un grande nome della fotografia. Da qualche decennio l&#8217;opera dei fotografi \u00e8 stata interconnessa con lo studio dei temi architettonici, della pianificazione urbana e dello &#8220;spazio&#8221; in senso lato, inteso come entit\u00e0 fisica e come sfondo di tensioni sociali e geopolitiche in corso.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In questo contesto, il panorama italiano vanta alcuni nomi autorevoli: fotografi riconosciuti a livello internazionale per l&#8217;intelligenza critica con cui si vedono il paesaggio, restituendo immagini che trascendono gli stereotipi e che sono piene di significato. Per la prima volta a Buenos Aires il <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centroculturalrecoleta.org\/nuevositio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centro Cultural Recoleta<\/a> presenta un altro grande autore della fotografia italiana: Olivo Barbieri.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00abI was never interested so much in photography as in the images. I believe that my work begins where photography ends\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This seemingly paradoxical statement contains a fundamental key to access Barbieri&#8217;s complex studies. It is around this provocation that the design of the exhibit takes shape, conceived as a route along which the work of one of the most important authors of contemporary Italian photography can be read with an innovative and rationally critical angle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibit displays a selection of works \u2013 photographs and films \u2013 that illustrate Barbieri&#8217;s path from the late 1970s to today: from the first &#8220;Flippers&#8221; found in an abandoned factory as a play on decadent modern icons to the alienating nocturnal images of urban contexts in opposition to the visions of faces and landscapes from paintings preserved in museums that are even more ambiguous because of their apparent reality; from the exploration of Italian cities and suburbs of the 1980s to the repeated journey to China and far East; to arrive at the aerial views of the 1990s which are his first approach to the work on urban and natural environments that becomes a systematic project with the <em>site specific_ <\/em>series launched in 2003 and still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The structure will be one of a great retrospective which will focus \u2013 in six sections \u2013 on the different study topics and areas around which Barbieri has developed his own artistic path. The title identifies the fulcrum but does not exhaust the topics covered in each section; it becomes a starting point to investigate various works connected to the same area of study.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Francesca Fabiani<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Per la prima volta a Buenos Aires il Centro Cultural Recoleta presenta un altro grande autore della fotografia italiana: Olivo Barbieri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[4,12,17],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2026"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3656,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026\/revisions\/3656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glocalproject.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
