The Italian Cultural Institute in Montreal has inaugurated the photographic exhibition “La forma dell’aria” (The Shape of Air) by Luca Spano, a project that won the 2024 call for proposals for the Promotion of Italian Photography Abroad, promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
Curated by Giangavino Pazzola, the exhibition presents two series of unpublished works that combine art and science in a speculative dialogue on the exploration of non-optical images, i.e. the visual processes that enable the human brain to process mental images through all the senses except sight.
The opening night was attended by the Ambassador of Italy to Canada, Alessandro Cattaneo, who welcomed the new Director of the Italian Cultural Institute, Francesca Calamaro.
The exhibition will be open to the public until 25 October 2025.
