The exhibition is the first retrospective exhibition ever held in Italy of staged photography, a genre that has revolutionised the language of photography since the 1980s and its place among the contemporary arts.

With more than one hundred large-scale works on display, the exhibition demonstrates how between the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, photography was able to achieve the heights of imagination and invention which had previously been almost exclusively the province of cinema and painting.
