The show

Photography is a tool for pursuing and revealing the truth. On display are six images from the series dedicated to the transvestite community of Genoa.

The six photographs on display testify to Carmi's long work dedicated to the transvestite community of Genoa, a relationship that began with the first shots on New Year's Eve 1965 in the Jewish ghetto of the city and continued until 1971. The photos were published in 1970 in a a volume which, due to its content and title considered rough for the morals of the time, was rejected by many bookstores, thus becoming an editorial case. A first and very rare edition of the book, which has entered the history of Italian photography by right, is kept in the Fondo Incontri Internazionali d'Arte at the MAXXI.


Lisetta Carmi (Genoa, 1924 – Cisternino, Brindisi, 2022) is one of the protagonists of post-war reportage photography. Born into a family of Jewish origins and forced into exile, Carmi came to photography after a long experience as a concert pianist and, starting in the early 1960s, began to devote herself to photography as a means of political commitment and personal inner research.

The photographs, exhibited on the occasion of the international day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, are a preview of the exhibition OUT OF EVERYTHING. Exhibit deposits, at MAXXI from 28 June 2023.
