This volume is dedicated to the phenomenon of staged photography,
the trend that has revolutionised the photographic language since
the 1980s. Through over 100 works, the catalogue tells how
photography was able to reach the heights of fantasy and invention
between the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st-century,
previously almost exclusively entrusted to cinema and painting.
Goldfish invading bedrooms, icefalls in the desert, imaginary
cities, Marilyn Monroe and Lady D shopping together: all of this
can happen thanks to veritable stages set up in order to build a
parallel reality, or thanks to new technologies and, in particular,
through the increasingly sophisticated use of Photoshop, released
in 1990. Photography, the realm of documentation and (presumed)
objectivity becomes the realm of fantasy, invention and
subjectivity, completing the last decisive evolution of its
history. Works by: Jeff Wall, Cindy Sherman, James Casebere, Sandy
Skoglund, Yasumasa Morimura, Laurie Simmons, David Lachapelle,
Bernard Faucon, Eileen Cowin, Bruce Charlesworth, David Levinthal,
Paolo Ventura, Lori Nix, Miwa Yanagi, Alison Jackson, Julia
Fullerton Batten, Jung Yeondoo, Jiang Pengyi. Text in English and
Italian.
