Campo 95, an exhibition devoted to photography, presents a selection of 27 artists from 13 countries. Despite their different perspectives, they all display a remarkable 'transforming' ability, which is a peculiarity of the photo image as part of the language of contemporary art in recent years.
The title Campo, or field, originated from the idea of extending a cultural and intellectual field symbolically and geographically, in order to create a new occasion for meeting and exchange in the art world.
"There are images that appear and images that disappear. Visions that must be rescued and nightmares that must be erased. And in the continuity of a world made only of images, the citizens' hope for at least a few, just a few, righteous images slowly materializes before our eyes. Each artist arrived at Campo through an individual path, characterized by a conflicting relationship with the culture they belong to. From the strict social rules of Japan to the ethereal solitude of the Icelandic winter, from the restless delirium of a metropole like New York down to Cuba, seen as a real and symbolical place, a utopian island that stubbornly and courageously withstands an irreversible present.
All these artists belong to a generation that views technology and computer science as its creative future - but today finds that photography can be a way of expressing their language". (Francesco Bonami)
