closed Rome Photography 2020: Eros

The show

What ignites our dreams, thoughts and actions? How does our gaze catch it? And how does that look mature in us?

Roma Fotografia proposes a great event for the capital that outlines the contours and shades of the extraordinary force that moves the world: Desire .

If all art is erotic, as Gustav Klimt said, after all, it is because eroticism characterizes nature itself: from the shape of an orchid in bloom to a fruit half open, eros is the gaze of those who succeed. to grasp the essence and every form of beauty and pathos in existence.
The continuous exercise of emotions with which we stimulate our senses that becomes a key to interpreting what we live.

Roma Fotografia 2020 EROS is a cultural proposal that investigates the relationship between photography and art in general with the theme of desire, passion and beauty and stimulates research on the motivations and the deepest drives that animate dreams and actions. daily that aim at the realization of them.
To rediscover the talent, skills, potential, aspirations that find the ideal instrument of expression in art.

The first of the three exhibitions, Tina Modotti, “The Eros of the revolution” , opens on February 22nd .

A four-stage journey that starts with the iconic images that have led Tina Modotti to be the most influential photographer of the beginning of the century.

Her splendid gaze shows an extraordinary ability to tell the complexity of a revolution without ever losing the delicacy of paying attention to a detail, to a flower.

A woman, an artist beyond definitions, beyond her time, who projects towards a modernity that finds in the "Desire" the spark to move towards an essential ideal, an indispensable passion, a tenacious will, in the exploration of herself and herself life for her already immortal. in the other areas we discover an unusual interpretation of his work, which in order to be included in the Roma Fotografia 2020 “EROS” project needed to isolate his gazes not from a specific or ideological point of view, but from a symbolic one. And here the photographs of hands become flowers and flowers that become hands, which have always been symbols of love and sensuality. An unprecedented project resulting from an in-depth research work by the photographers of Rome Photography: Maria Cristina Valeri and Alex Mezzenga.
