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.

London: Shot in Soho at Photographer's Gallery

Image
Although the area of Soho is relatively small (one square mile) and bordered by some of London’s richest and most commercialised streets, it has remained a complex place of unorthodoxy, diversity, tolerance and defiance. Shot in Soho is an original exhibition celebrating Soho’s diverse culture, community and history of creative innovation as well as highlighting its position as a site of resistance. John Goldblatt Untitled, from the series ‘The Undressing Room’, 1968 © John Goldblatt Courtesy of the artist’s estate Through a range of photographs, ephemera and varied presentations, the project reflects the breadth of life in a part of the capital that has always courted controversy and celebrated difference. It comes at a time when the area is facing radical transition and transformation with the imminent completion of Cross Rail (a major transport hub being built on Soho’s borders) set to make a landmark impact on the area.    This is a rare opportunity to see outst...
