Italian photographer LUCIA GIACANI will have her first solo exhibition in China at Alter gallery from March 23rd to April 21st, 2019. The exhibition collects more than 20 pieces from Lucia’s four series for Vogue.it.
Giacani, who began experimenting with photography out of enthusiasm at an early age, started to shoot regularly for Vogue Accessory after a series of shoots for Vanity Fair, Vogue Gioiello and Vogue Pelle. She is in a sense like a theatre director, on the stage in front of her camera, the most strong and the most tender emotions of womenkind are unfolded and magnified. In the exhibition, we will restore the original scenes of “Killing Time” (see above), which will enable visitors to enter the photographer’s fantastic world to feel the scenes and the spirit of her works. Behind the dazzling curtain, she is always thinking about an eternal topic: how to capture the essence of women, and how to immortalize their live flesh.
Lucia said, “I’m not interested in dull photography, but there is certain complexity in women’s daily lives which I am dedicated to explore."
