Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Daidō MoriyamaA Retrospective 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 22 Jun 2025Over the course of his sixty-year career, Daido Moriyama (b. 1938, Osaka) decisively altered how we experience photography. He used his camera to investigate post-war Japanese society and document his surroundings, but he also questioned the nature of photography itself. His unmistakable visual language is as lauded as his countless publications, which are central to his work. This retrospective will be the first to exhibit most of his famous series along with dozens of Moriyama’s photobooks… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Andy SewellSlowly and Then All at Once 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025What is the precise moment when problems become clear, and the strategies to address and solve them also become apparent? When does the cost of inaction become too high? What prevents those in power from taking the necessary steps to resolve the issue? What can be done to help future generations? What is the current impact of climate change on young people? These are just a few of the questions that Andy Sewell’s Slowly and Then All at Once aims to bring to the surface. The work is rooted i… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Claudio MajoranaMal de Mer 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025Mal de Mer explores the theme of adolescence as a phase of life during which we are confronted by personal issues for the first time, issues that, according to the artist’s vision, often remain anchored in our lives even once we have moved on to adulthood, continuing to shape and influence it. The project is set in Lithuania, a former Soviet country with a profoundly scarred political past and the highest suicide rate in Europe. Under an intense gaze, the subjects portrayed appear to be ov… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Marie Sumalla and Ghazal GolshiriYou Don't Die 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025"Dear Jina, you don't die, your name becomes a symbol". On 16 September 2022, twenty-two-year-old Mahsa (Jina) Amini died in a Tehran hospital. Three days earlier, she had been arrested by the police because her attitude did not conform to the dress codes in force in the Islamic Republic of Iran – her hair was too visible and her trousers were unsuitable; she had received blows to the head while in police custody and fallen into a coma. One death, one injustice too many, inflamed the Iranian… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Vinca PetersenRaves and Riots Constellation 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025 Raves and Riots brings together a collection of seminal diaristic photographs drawn from a period spanning 1990–2004, documenting the artist’s experiences as part of the free party and traveller community. The images juxtapose the sense of escapism and euphoria of this unique cultural moment with the oppressive political climate that outlawed the lifestyles of those responsible for Britain’s rave scene. The free party wave enraptured Britain’s young generation following the explosi… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Toma GerzhaControl Refresh 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025Control Refresh is the result of the photographer Toma Gerzha’s research into the impact of political events on young people in several former Soviet countries. Over the last three years, Gerzha has met teenagers in remote towns in Russia and Eastern Europe. She has amassed a large collection of photographs of young people who have shared their vulnerability with her, let her into their boredom and talked to her about their dreams. In 2021, Gerzha set out on her first major photographic journ… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Jessica IngramWe Are Carver 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025In We Are Carver, acclaimed photographer Jessica Ingram invites you into George Washington Carver High School in Columbus, Georgia, located just a few miles from Fort Moore, one of the largest military installations in the world.

The work addresses new forms of protest and insurrection in our post-contemporary times dominated by uninterrupted control societies. Five years earlier, in Hong Kong, the Umbrella Movement had been rapidly repressed by State and police violence. In 2019, the democratic uprising that began in May gathered momentum. Faced by a sophisticated arsenal of control, t… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Kido MafonIFUCKTOKYO - DUAL MAIN CHARACTER 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025Tokyo is an energetic, chaotic, and vibrant city that never sleeps. But at the same time, it can drag you into a hole, where everyone is constantly in the endless cycle of the unconscious quest to become someone, to find meaning in their existence, and to affirm in relation to others. IFUCKTOKYO emerges from this sensation, disciplined by society but with a rebellious spirit within. Photographer Kido Mafon captures scenes of the city’s frenetic nightlife and youth culture, shooting on fi… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Karla Hiraldo VoleauFrammenti 24 Apr 202524 Apr – 8 Jun 2025Frammenti is an ongoing project by Karla Hiraldo Voleau that explores the emotional lives and relationships of Italian teenagers in their final years of high school. Inspired by Pasolini’s Comizi d’Amore (Love Meetings, 1964), she travels across Italy to create a contemporary portrait of Gen Z through personal interviews. The themes she examines include evolving communication, dating, the influence of social media and feminism in a currently binary society, grappling with issues such as f… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Sabine WeissUNA VITA DA FOTOGRAFA 28 Apr – 11 Jun 2023Sabine Weiss ( 1924–2021) is probably the longest-standing photographer in history.

Thanks to digital manipulation software, every photographic shot has transformed itself into the basis for the production of a potentially infinite quantity of variations; a process of constant reimagining of reality. In this exhibition, … more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Motoyuki DaifuHOLY ONION FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2019 - XIV edition12 Apr – 9 Jun 2019Motoyuki Daifu will present a series of 20 images, printed in the same size, of his now ironically iconic Mother in the act of peeling an onion in a now equally iconic kitchen. An otherwise everyday act is presented through the particular photographic point of view of the artist. more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Ryuichi IshikawaMITSUGU FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2019 - XIV edition12 Apr – 9 Jun 2019Okinawa is a tropical island of Japan and a popular tourist destination, but Ryuichi Ishikawa, born and raised here, has mixed feeling about that. Okinawa, caught between the histories of Japan and China and the economies of Japan and America, is continually manipulated by disputes between countries and the pressure exerted by them. This is an everyday occurrence in the island and the demands of daily life don’t leave to inhabitants room to turn our attention to it. He gots to know Mitsug… more |
