The exhibition highlights the key role of photography and the extraordinary collecting track records that GAM can boast in this field. The exhibition traces the Italian history of photography dedicated to art through some loans and the numerous photo-archives in the GAM collections, acquired by the City of Turin and the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT (Foundation for Modern and Contemporary Art CRT).

It starts from the first nineteenth-century records of the architectural landscape all the way up to include Armin Linke’s shots of the Teatro Regio. It features Ghirri’s images that place the spectators’ gaze between the photographic lens and the works of art and those of Mulas, who more than anyone else knew how to portray the exhibition landscape and the studio as the artist’s thought spaces. It also includes the photos of Gianfranco Gorgoni, where work of art and horizon merge into a single significant landscape as the one created by Land Art and Minimalism.
