This month is a celebration for photography enthusiasts: there are five photographic exhibitions active in Trieste in April 2023.
Here are the appointments waiting for you:
The archive of Ugo Borsatti, one of the greatest Trieste photographers, has more than 350,000 negatives, mainly on film.
The exhibition offers 200 photographs, some of them never presented to the public, a selection of cameras and other materials on the work of the photographer who more than any other has been able to immortalize the spirit of Trieste.
When: Until 16th April 2023
Where: Palazzo Gopcevich, Sala Attilio Selva (Via Gioacchino Rossini, 4, 34121 Trieste TS)
From Hotello: 5 minutes walk
The exhibition studies the invisible light of the human eye: the photographs are made using the infrared technique, which allows to capture a range of dark light from the visible.
In order to make this possible, Tomicich has conceived and created specific camera and objective for this function: what we observe is therefore not the result of elaborations, but is an aspect of reality that is unknown to us.
When: Until 12th April 2023
Where: Sala comunale d’Arte (Piazza Unità d’Italia)
From Hotello: 8 minutes walk
