Careof, in collaboration with NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, presents Invisibile (Invisible), an exhibition curated by Luca Andreoni and Francesco Zanot displaying the works of the students of the Master’s in Photography and Visual Design

Is it possible to photograph the invisible?
The invisible is one of photography’s subjects.
Overcoming the belief that photography can only deal with the world’s external appearance, this medium is used here to breach the wall of appearances and delve into the depths of reality’s body.
Photography pricks, says Barthes.
Photography scratches and digs.
Photography isn’t cosmetic: it goes beyond things’ skin and explores the underlying layers through a sampling and investigating process.
This is possible because photography isn’t just a form of research but is inevitably a mixture of recording and interpretation as well.
Mirror and window.
Image. Imagination. Collective imagination.
Photography is vision.
The deep-web; religion; private life; the other; the past; the future; history; political secrets; private ones; the backstage; the ghosts; the virus; language; the subconscious; the “too little” and “too big”... are some of the “hidden” directions in which we can look through the filter of photography.
These are examples of the themes the exhibition deals with, organized like a sampling system of the possible connections between photographic representation and as broad and multi-faceted a concept as invisibility, whether it be literal or metaphorical.
Each work on display represents the in-depth analysis of a single interpretation of the invisible.
Together, they create an ideal observatory on this theme and on the richness of photographic language itself, here used in different and alternative ways.
We are faced with a flood of images. One next to the other, they make up the triumph of hypervisibility. One on top of the other, they cancel each other out, the way an extended exposure time burns the negative.
It’s the ghost of the society of images.
The visible and the invisible are closer than we think.
