The exhibition is part of the panorama of photographic exhibitions in Venice in 2025, contributing to contemporary dialogue on photography as an artistic language and personal introspection. THEAnd photographs by Garibaldi are characterized by surreal perspectives and fluid compositions, the result of a constant experimentation between art and interpretation, and are distinguished by a strong autobiographical component. Nothing is left to chance: each image is the result of a conscious staging, in which the sensitivity of light and the search for new perspectives merge into a personal and universal narrative. In this sense, crossing is affirmed among the photography exhibitions capable of combining technique, vision and reflection on identity. In the photo, The sand season. Blue Shores series by Federico Garibaldi. Info: Venice, Le Rooms of Photography Foundation, from 27 August to 5 October 2025 (lestzedellafotography.it).
