Spot home gallery presents the collective exhibition Turning point, an in-depth look at the path of five of its artists, through a selection of five works that marked a decisive turning point in their lives and artistic careers.
For the first time together, here in Naples, a selection from the works: End Time City by Michael Ackerman, Tractor Boys by Martin Bogren, Paradiso by Lorenzo Castore, Pursuit by Richard Pak and Cafè Lehmitz by Anders Petersen.
The turning point referred to is not a shift due to the success these works achieved in the world of contemporary photography or by the countless awards received, rather by the awareness acquired at the time by each artist concerning the sense and the way of making photography and engaging with the world.
Although in different years and ages, for all of them, that period of life dedicated to their project was a formative emotional experience, which decisively oriented the photographic approach of each of them.
Driven by an unrelenting curiosity and a profound need, not obliged to respond to any external demand, only their own, through photography, they explored worlds near and far, seeking correspondences with their own inner world, their desires, doubts, thoughts, dreams.
Guided by a sole inner compass, that of trust in their own emotions and fidelity to their subjective experience, they went forward with courage and perseverance on a journey of knowledge and growth experienced by encountering the other.
The choice of subjects and languages was different, but the approach and intent were common: these artists do not put a distance between themselves and the world, they immerse themselves in it with their eyes and hearts open and transcribe their subjective vision.
Thanks to them, the history of contemporary photography has been enriched with poetic and universal visual stories that delve into the mystery of life and the complexity of human feelings with depth and sensitivity.
