GABRIELE BASILICO

WORK PLACES

We miss Gabriele, who disappeared at the beginning of 2013. We miss his way of making us believe that nothing is banal.
His photos elevated the commonplace, not necessarily to make it more beautiful, but certainly to make it more interesting.
His highly precise frames and the right distance shots used to manipulate perspectives and symmetry enabled him to bring a sense of movement to solid mineral matter, making the frozen dynamic.
We thought we had already seen all his best photos. Here is a side that, apart a few photos, had never exhibited: corporate commissions.

Dating to the 1200s, in the late eighteenth century this palazzo became an institution serving orphans and young mothers. Inactive since the 1990s, this fascinating monument of great architectural interest is occasionally used for cultural events.
