ongoing Carlo Valsecchi photographs

The show

A book and an exhibition to tell, through the eyes of the artist Carlo Valsecchi, the architectural works created over the course of twenty years (2000-2020) by the architecture and interior design studio ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.

A series of photographs, in large format, will show - from 12 April to 12 May 2024 - in the historic Palazzo Morando in Milan, now home to a museum dedicated to the history of the City and to the exhibition of the Costume and Fashion collection, Valsecchi's journey – lasted 12 years - in the spaces designed by the Milanese studio.

In Carlo Valsecchi's images, the built environment merges into the landscape in a process of exchange between the architecture and the complexity of the city - where the projects are lost among the profiles of the hills and neighborhoods, from Milan to Hamburg, to Taichung (Taiwan).

The exhibition - organized by ACPV ARCHITECTS and Silvana Editoriale - is a distillation of Carlo Valsecchi's photographs that "looks" at the work of the Studio, in a sequence composed of visual analogies, which are developed in their entirety in the volume "ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel as seen by Carlo Valsecchi" (2024, Silvana Editoriale). The book is enriched by the written contributions of the curator and essayist Francesco Zanot, the architect Valerio Paolo Mosco, the art critic and curator Francesco Bonami and the writer Deyan Sudjic .

The project shows how capturing architecture with the photographic medium is not a simple fact, as we read in the preface of the book: “Architecture exists only in the instantaneous and non-measurable space of feeling, it is essential to be there, to be there in that instant. This has little to do with vision, it only has to do with the symbolic and emotional being that is the human animal. In this lies the quality of this book and the exhibition.”

A journey through time and space, entering the contemporary complexity of cities, so close and so far from us, moving the point of view further and further, to understand the mechanisms of our adaptation to the changes that community life brings about since we have stopped being nomads. A continuous movement to learn to understand, a journey of thousands of kilometres, entering and exiting, going up and down, day and night.
