Description
“Imagining Islands” is the name of the exhibition by Gavazzeni Ricordi and Claudio Koporossy at the Luigi Bernabò Brea Archaeological Park on Lipari.
In the recurring dialogue between contemporary art and the magnificent finds and sites of the Bernabò Brea Archaeological Museum, we present an exhibition by two great masters of contemporary photography: Carlo Gavazzeni Ricordi and Claudio Koporossy.
The former contrasts ancient images with those of everyday life in our present circumstances. The latter, who describes himself as 'obsessed with water', by contrast captures in his snapshots the movements of his favourite element that are impossible to perceive with the naked eye.
The works of both fit in perfectly with the intention, initiated on Lipari in 2015 with the transformation of the prisons into 'cells' for contemporary art, to create a dialogue between the spectacular finds from the waters of the Aeolian Islands, kept in the Lipari Museum, and contemporary art.
