From 16 July to 1 October 2023
The Ferrara Arte Foundation and the Art Museums Service of the Municipality of Ferrara present the great anthological exhibition dedicated to Guido Harari, a suggestive exhibition itinerary set up in the halls of Palazzo dei Diamanti with over 300 photographs, installations and original films, projections and musical incursions , a photographic set and meetings with the author.
The exhibition, organized with Rjma Cultural Projects and Wall Of Sound Gallery, traces all the phases of Guido Harari's eclectic career: from his beginnings in the musical field as a photographer and journalist, to the numerous album covers for artists such as Fabrizio De André, Bob Dylan, Vasco Rossi, Kate Bush, Paolo Conte, Lou Reed, Frank Zappa, up to the affirmation of a work that over time has bounced from one genre to another - publishing, advertising, fashion, reportage - always favoring the portrait as an intimate story of meetings with the major personalities of his time.
The exhibition itinerary begins in the 1970s, when Harari, still a teenager, began to combine his two great passions: music and photography. The exhibition also offers a section dedicated to the parallel passion for the curation of books intended as a form of "photography without a camera" as well as opportunities for old and new encounters, from which the illustrated biographies of Fabrizio De André, Fernanda Pivano, Mia Martini, Giorgio Gaber and Pier Paolo Pasolini, and one dedicated to unpublished "research" images that Harari has been creating for some years as his personal form of meditation in progress.
A section of great impact will be "Eyes of Ferrara", where, during the course of the exhibition, Harari will gradually exhibit the portraits by reservation that he will make in the Magic Cave, a photographic set set up at the end of the exhibition itinerary. In addition to the print signed by the photographer which will be delivered in real time to the portrayed subjects, a second print will be exhibited, also in real time, developing a sort of "exhibition within the exhibition" which will ideally represent the views of the host city.
