The talk of 18 April will analyse war photography starting from the social, technological and stylistic transformations that have involved it in recent decades.

Starting from the Spanish Civil War – an event photographed by Robert Capa and Gerda Taro – up to the present day, the narrative strategies implemented by a language that still plays a central role in the telling of reality will be investigated.

 

With the participation of
Walter Guadagnini, artistic director of CAMERA and co-curator of the exhibition
Monica Poggi, curator of CAMERA and co-curator of the exhibition

 

The admission is free and the talk is part of the Biennale Tecnologia programme.
