Inventions of Memory by Carlo Gavazzeni Ricordi

Curated by Giordano Bruno Guerri, president of the Vittoriale, and organized by Il Cigno Arte di Lorenzo Zichichi, the exhibition leads the visitor on a journey suspended between photography, painting, and mental vision, where light becomes matter and the image opens up to an evocative, almost dreamlike dimension.

The works by Gavazzeni Ricordi, displayed between the Ricovero del MAS and Villa Mirabella, are among the most representative of his oeuvre: large-format works created with double- and triple-shot techniques, in which photography frees itself from its documentary function to transform into a perceptual experience. Architecture, ruins, urban landscapes, and fragments of history emerge as interior settings, suspended between lucidity and dream. Rome, in particular, is the protagonist of a visual narrative that does not describe, but evokes: a mental place where past and present overlap, generating luminous vibrations and symbolic tensions.
