On the occasion of Exposed Torino Photo Festival, Mazzoleni presents Dalla scena al reale. Persistences and Metamorphoses of the Collective Body.

The exhibition brings together works from Italian modernism in dialogue with contemporary practices, exploring the representation of the body, both individual and collective, as a site of continuity and transformation between painting and photography. The display unfolds as a sequence of encounters, in which each pair of works generates a field of visual and conceptual resonance.

Highlights include works by Felice Casorati, Oliviero Toscani, Massimo Campigli, Massimo Vitali, Alberto Savinio and Marinella Senatore. Through this intergenerational dialogue, the exhibition reflects on how the body becomes a space where memory, identity, and social experience intersect. Moving between staged composition and documentary observation, the selected works reveal shifting ways of seeing and inhabiting reality, tracing persistent gestures and evolving forms of collective presence across different artistic languages and historical moments.
