Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Felipe Romero BeltránBravo Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026Bravo situates itself in the liminal space of the Río Bravo, a territory marked by migration where geography and identity collide. Focusing on a 270-kilometre stretch of the river, Romero Beltrán constructs an elusive visual narrative in which the river becomes a silent protagonist, shaping lives while remaining largely absent from view. Through portraits, interiors, and landscapes, Bravo captures the suspended time of migration. Romero Beltrán’s precise visual language articulates a poli… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Mohamed HassanOur Hidden Room Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026“This is about my father. This is about me. This is about our hidden room.” Our Hidden Room is a photographic and narrative project that tells the fragmented story of a complex yet deeply loving relationship between the artist and his father, who was also a photographer. Blending photography and storytelling, the work unfolds as a raw and intimate exploration of family, memory, and loss. During the artist’s childhood in Egypt, his father often behaved erratically and withdrew from the … more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Salvatore VitaleAutomated Refusal Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026Automated Refusal is part of Death by GPS, an examination of how automation technologies are reshaping labour and revealing the contradictions of digital capitalism. In Automated Refusal, Salvatore Vitale explores the fragile realities of gig work, where surveillance, rankings, and long hours blur the boundaries between life and labour. The film questions how technology reshapes the relationship between people and their environments in the digital age. Blending observation and fiction, the w… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Marine LanierLe Jardin d’Hannibal (Hannibal’s Garden) Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026Le Jardin d’Hannibal is set in the Lautaret Garden, the highest alpine botanical garden in Europe, located at 2,100 meters beneath the Meije glaciers. Home to more than 2,000 plant species, it functions as a conservatory of alpine flora from the world’s great mountain ranges. Since spring 2019, I have spent extended periods living in the Mirande laboratory chalet with ecologists, botanists and gardeners. As the snow melted, alpine plants from across the globe gradually reappeared among meado… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Tania Franco KleinSubject Studies Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026Subject Studies is an anthropological project. This series investigates how identity and bias shape perception. Klein photographed 106 subjects of varying ages and ethnicities in identical settings, including a diner, bathroom, car, and living room, with consistent lighting, composition, and poses. Only the human subjects change from one image to the next. This interactive anthropological project challenges viewers to confront their assumptions, asking: Why do we have different emotional respons… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Ola RindalStains and Ashes Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026“If I walk in the street, I see houses, cars, trees, people. But in between there are stains, cracks, holes. Sometimes they are like sculptures, sometimes like doors, openings, and sometimes like drawings or paintings. It can be a puddle of water or an oil stain from a car, a crack in the wall, a piece of garbage… these stains have no meaning, no language or narrative. Yet they exist in between all the other elements around us”. The project began with a spot on a cloth; an observation. The… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Giulia VanelliThe Season Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026The past can be seen not as a dimension that has concluded but as an active presence that continues to resurface in the present, influencing the way we inhabit time and construct our identity. Some experiences, especially those lived during childhood and youth, do not dissolve as the years pass, but remain suspended, deposited like sediment in the places and gestures we go back through. The Season is born from that persistence. Set in a small seaside village in Tuscany, the project offers an e… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Frédéric D. OberlandVestiges of the Future Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026Frédéric D. Oberland’s works unfold a multisensory practice where experimental photography, film and music continually feed one another. Former student at La Fémis, the French national cinema school, he visually works with grainy photographs, poetic observational gestures, and Super8 film, exploring fragile temporalities, flickers and overexposures that resonate with the impermanence of sound. Psychedelic color-grading directly on the negative produces kaleidoscopic images where bodies, lan… more Chiostri di San PietroITChiostri di San Pietro +39 0522 -430557 Simona GhizzoniMilk Wood Fotografia Europea 202630 Apr 202630 Apr – 14 Jun 2026We are not wholly bad or good / Who live our lives under Milk Wood, / And Thou, I know, wilt be the first / To see our best side, not our worst (1) “I too had forgotten the old station, even though it was from there that I left for the first time, as a young adult, many years ago. While I was trying to figure out how to describe a place I had forgotten, an old edition of Under Milk Wood, translated by Carlo Izzo, caught my eye on the bookshelf”.

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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 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. For six years, Ingram explored the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programme there, engaging with the student cadets as they navigated the transition from adolescence to adulthood, all against the backdrop of a changing political landscape.

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 – 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 – 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.

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 |
