The project continues with a major section dedicated to major figures in international contemporary photography. Also concurrently, on November 22nd, an exclusive project by photographer Olivia Arthur (b. 1980) opens, curated by Marco Minuz. Olivia Arthur is a British photographer born in 1980, known for her documentary work and the intimate, humanist approach to the stories she tells. She has been a member of Magnum Photos since 2013 and won the Inge Morath Prize in 2007. Her photography often focuses on themes of identity, culture, and the condition of women, with a particular focus on the worlds that exist on the margins of society. For Pordenone, she will develop two projects: within the historic exhibition itinerary of the Museo Civico d’Arte Ricchieri, she will exhibit her work, Murmurings of the Skin , relating it to the art collections present in the museum space through a large-scale installation; A work that explores the relationship with our bodies, with the skin, with physicality, but also with the boundary between human and machine-technology. The skin becomes a site of internal struggles, of wounds, but also of resistance. Within the new exhibition space dedicated to contemporary photography, “Die Gelbe Wand,” at the new cultural center of Mercati Culturali Pordenone, the English artist will exhibit a collection of works centered on his five editorial projects.
