The exhibition “Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza” is made of artworks from the CSAC archives and it documents the role that photography- especially in the Seventies – has had in raising awareness around hidden, forgotten, and sometimes censored issues.

“Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza” is depicted in these shots, where the protagonists are people – who literally were pushed to the margins from the society because their own existence is in contrast with the logic prevailing in the modern world. In other cases, the prominent figures are people who have been involved to contrast, manifest, trying not to resign themselves, and affirming an alternative model with respect to the contemporary society. Moreover, “Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza” exhibits photographs, where subjects are the same authors who took that photos – such as Giordano Bonora, Anna Candiani, Carla Cerati, Mario Cresci, Uliano Lucas, Paola Mattioli, and Giuseppe Morandi. Each of them – according to their sensitivity and their language – have contributed to transforming photography not just into a critical tool but also an instrument of reflection, used to inform the Italian society of these conditions during the economic boom.
