Urban Screens

In the amazing setting of the SINAGOGUE, Vincenzo Castella, master of Italian photography, displays his latest project Urban Screens, a labyrinthine vision of vegetation at once domesticated and unrecognisable, a reflection on the relationship of contemporary humans with the natural element. Large-format photographs (180 x 226 cm) greet the spectator through the building’s walls, creating an uncanny space where photography reflects on forms of representation, ideologies and iconography. At the centre, two screens present an additional evolution of the visual process, which literally moves through the surfaces and plants: a natural universe tamed, which through photography finds a form of disorderly beauty.
