Every woman's story is a small, great metamorphosis. Taking inspiration from the theme of the new edition of the MIA Photo Fair, dedicated precisely to metamorphosis, Laura Leonelli offers a reflection on the female image, its vitality, and its uniqueness through a series of anonymous authors and recognized masters. From Émile Zola's daughter, Denise, portrayed by the great French writer, to Martha Khun-Weber's dolls, from the eroticism of an anonymous New York photographer of the 1940s to the diamonds of a mysterious surrealist creature, to the incandescent hair of a sister of “Gilda,” this new gallery, at its debut, invites to immerse oneself in the inexhaustible richness of vintage photograph
