A career tribute with 140 artworks
The exhibition is a tribute to Carlo Orsi's visionary path, traced from post-war Italy, in a context imbued with cultural ferment such as the Bar Jamaica in Brera, a crossroads of painters, writers and poets. A workshop of creativity and confrontation, which constituted Orsi's existential and intellectual matrix, nourishing his research and defining the roots of his photographic practice.
The 140 works on display, all in black and white, almost exclusively vintage, come from the artist's personal archive and were printed under his careful supervision. Photographs that mark the central themes of his work, from the journalistic dimension - inaugurated as a photoreporter for newspapers such as "Corriere della Sera", "Panorama", "Settimo Giorno", "Il Mondo" and "Oggi" - to the meeting with Ugo Mulas, which marks a crucial step in his training. Here one can perceive the detachment from established models and the affirmation of a dissident, ironic language that permeates every area of his photographic work, overturning the codes of image and visual narration.
