La geometria e la compassione. Ferdinando Scianna and his images that make us look.
Geometry and compassion seem to have little in common. Or maybe not. It’s just that to discover the connections, we need to be able to look at the world and into it: it’s not enough to know that things exist, they can’t be ignored. And they have to be discovered.
Sometimes this leads to a sudden and painful awareness of facts that are known but not considered or it opens up new avenues of thought, connections, different visions. If this happens, then Ferdinando Scianna has hit the mark (as he practically always does) with the exhibition La geometria e la compassione at the CMC – Centro Culturale di Milano, with sixty original prints and texts for a meditation on what we often ignore, know, but do not look at.
