In 1963, at Milan Central Station, Carlo Orsi immortalized the nascent phenomenon of immigration from the south to the north of the country in four shots that he decided to enlarge, crop, and manipulate to extract details in a game of photographic and sociological experimentation. Working on those frames, reproducing them in large format, is a great lesson from the photographer, who invites the observer to immerse themselves in the communicative process through a different approach to image culture and its use.

Fifty years later, the Ma.Co.f in Brescia is presenting them again in an exhibition curated by Renato Corsini and Roberto Palmas from September 16 to December 23, 2023.
