The exhibition “Behind the Mirror” offers the viewer a journey through the looking glass, into a world that goes beyond the ordinary, the usual everyday life.
Photographs by Giampiero Assumma are deep images captured through the lens of a skilled hunter, as if taken from the collective unconscious:
it is about life and death, about reality and sleep, about faith and superstition, about the duality and illusory nature of human perception, about the subtle, elusive and practically inexpressible.
The photo exhibition is located in the interiors of an 18th-century estate, among objects of decorative and applied art, patina, craquelure and cracks.
Inscribed in the context of the past, Giampiero Assumma’s works are as if the result of observing the world through an old mirror, clouded by time. The photographer, who knows how to become practically invisible to the heroes of his works, animate and inanimate, shares the imprints of his silent contemplation behind the bustle of the vanities of his era.
