Photo by Fulvio Magurno
Southern Landscapes
Fulvio Magurno
Free admission upon registration
The volume (Postcart, 2025) presents a series of photographs taken by Fulvio Magurno in the mid-1980s. The work, shot in black and white, carefully renders objects, architecture, and traces of time, transforming them into enigmatic presences that question space, memory, and the gaze. In these landscapes, sculptures and artistic artifacts often appear alongside fragments of architecture and various structures that contribute to the vast process of human shaping of the landscape. This inventory of “things” present in Magurno’s melancholic southern photographs speaks to the presence of history within the present (both then and now), and of the continual appearance of elements from art history—whether ancient art or recurring references to contemporary art.
Fulvio Magurno has worked for over twenty years as a reporter for leading international newspapers, receiving various awards for his work, such as the Yann Geoffroy International Documentary Prize in 1991 for a reportage on blind people in Italy and the European Kodak Panorama Prize in Arles in 1992. In 2011, he was invited to the 54th Venice Biennale, Italian Pavilion. For more than ten years, he has devoted himself to creative photography.
