There is a side to Piedmont that escapes most people’s notice, and Maria Gloria Serpi, a photographer from Turin, has captured it in 35 striking photographs.
‘A hunter of visual coincidences’ is how Michela Papavassiliou, curator of the volume published by Vitapicta under the patronage of the Metropolitan City of Turin, supported by the Municipality of Cesana Torinese and promoted by Pro Loco San Sicario 1560 APS, describes her.
The bilingual Italian/English book is now making its debut with its first Italian presentation ahead of its international launch.
From arcades to markets, from Savoyard corners to the geometries of light and shadow: every photograph is the result of patient waiting. “Her lens distils atmospheres where darkness and reflections vibrate, capturing the precise moment when everything aligns: silhouette, light, shadow and gesture.”
