The 32 black and white photos, on view until April 10, focus on the Italian television universe of the nineties, its history, backstages, and characters, returning the still image of an epoch that speaks to us in a dramatically current way even today.

Between satire and restlessness, De Luigi's photography scrutinizes the sequined surface of the television show, represented as a carnival microcosm of showmen, dancers and circus creatures born from the imagination of the TV authors, and returns a grotesque human representation that becomes a metaphor for the politics and society of today's Italy. Twenty-five years after its birth, as a prophecy, "Televisiva" denounces the system of screamed words and fake news, of easy sensationalism and of behavior patterns which, between fascination and demagogy, has been translated from the virtual dimension of television to political debate and everyday life in the real country.
