Exhibition:
'Se il suolo potesse parlare'
Andrea Buzzichelli, Gabrielle Duplantier, Hanne Van Assche

February, 2023

Right from the title, the exhibition tries to overturn the anthropocentric vision prevailing in society, giving voice to the Earth to make a different narrative flourish, perhaps therapeutic: the unexpected, the serendipity, and photography as a gaze on the unpredictable. Gabrielle Duplantier sows awareness that what belongs to the Earth returns to us because it is the immutable background of destiny.

Jakuzia is a frozen paradise of thick taiga and vast tundra: sturdy pines, rushing rivers, and towering mountains. Few people choose to live here, and Belgian photographer Hanne Van Assche has tried to put a face to them. 

Andrea Buzzichelli in the National Park of the Casentinesi Forests through the recycling of the "unconscious" imagery produced by the camera traps of the Forest Guard. He reveals to us the intrusive nature of the human eye in a captivating nocturnal vision that speaks of man as a voyeur, a voyeur who confines "nature" to stocks and denies his own.

Steve Bisson

Hi! I am Steve, a professional in the field of photography and visual arts, with a background as a curator, art director, and educator.

I’m a “mestizo,” as they say—Venetian on my father’s side, with a French surname that dates back to Napoleon’s campaigns, and a soldier from around Montpellier. My mother was born in Belgium to a Dutch family. My grandfather from Hoboken, New Jersey, on the Hudson River. I grew up a bit here and there; I currently live in Paris.

I have known the world before smartphones, computers, and the internet. Before low-cost flights. The backseat of my father's car was my window. Studies pushed me to embrace complexity, a quite observation. A gaze that "touches," that dares in some way, that strives to forge a connection.

I spent the past 20 years questioning the role of images in society.
