Cavallerizza - Centre of Italian Photography - Brescia (BS)
includedFrom Friday 13.06.2025 to Sunday 7.09.2025
As part of Archives, 8th edition of the Brescia Photo Festival, the Municipality of Brescia and the Cavallerizza - Centro della Fotografia Italiana, in collaboration with Paci Contemporary (Brescia-Porto Cervo), present Sandy Skoglund's solo exhibition entitled In Wonderland.
The exhibition brings together around seventy large- and medium-format photographs, tracing the artist's entire creative journey. It starts with early works such as American Vacation Motel Cabins (1974) e Reflections in a Mobile Home (1977), in which the central themes of the domestic interior transformed into a surreal setting, where everyday reality and fairy-tale dimensions intertwine, already emerge.
The exhibition continues with the famous staged photography works of the 1990s, an area in which Sandy Skoglund is considered one of the main protagonists: familiar scenarios in visionary colours, inhabited by squirrels, flying fish, green cats and other fantastic creatures.
The route concludes with Winter (2008-2018), one of his most iconic and popular works, the second instalment of the series The Four Seasonsdedicated to the psychological influences of the seasons. In Winter, the artist proposes an evocative winter vision, populated by sculptures of owls and anthropomorphic snowflakes, called Eyeflakes.
