The Analogous Mountain. Michelangelo Antonioni and Luigi Ghirri
13 June – 1 November 2026, Spazio Antonioni
Spazio Antonioni presents The Analogous Mountain. Michelangelo Antonioni and Luigi Ghirri, an exhibition that brings together two leading figures of twentieth-century Italian culture through a dialogue between the Enchanted Mountains series by the renowned filmmaker from Ferrara and the photographs Luigi Ghirri took during his travels in the 1970s.
The exhibition explores the profound affinities between Antonioni's vision and that of the celebrated photographer from Reggio Emilia. For both artists, the landscape becomes a space for reflection, where silence, emptiness and anticipation invite viewers to question reality. Their works reveal a shared way of looking at the world, transforming ordinary places into suspended, evocative images that blur the boundaries between experience, memory and imagination.
