From 7 September 2023 to 28 January 2024 Palazzo Pallavicini will host the exhibition “Vivian Maier – Anthology” in the splendid Renaissance rooms, an extraordinary exhibition of almost 150 original and Super 8mm photographs by one of the most loved and appreciated photographers of this century.

The exhibition is organized and created by Chiara Campagnoli, Deborah Petroni and Rubens Fogacci of Pallavicini srl with the curatorship of Anne Morin of DiChroma Photography based on photos from the Maloof Collection archive and the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York.

The curator has made a very careful selection from the thousands of photographs available; in fact, 111 black and white photographs will be presented, plus a wonderful selection of 35 color photos, divided into six sections for an Anthology never seen in Bologna so complete.

An absolute novelty in Bologna will be the Super 8 vision that will allow you to follow the gaze of Vivian Maier, who began filming street scenes, events and places as early as 1960. Maier filmed everything that led her to a photographic image: she observed, intuitively lingered on a subject and then followed it. He zoomed in on the target to approach from afar, focusing on an attitude or detail, like the legs or hands of people in a crowd. The film is both a documentary — about a man being arrested by the police or the destruction caused by a tornado — and a contemplative work — the strange procession of sheep heading for the slaughterhouses of Chicago.
