Citofonare Trombetta / Wonder-Room

After a seasonal hibernation, Wonder-Room is back with a vengeance, in a new space with another not-to-be-missed artist / art director mashup. This time around, photographer Vicky Trombetta teams up with duo Studio Blanco for an event to showcase the heart of his work and his particular creative process.

An intimate glimpse into the artist’s personal space, the exhibition will be set up to recall his real-life workspace. It is his toolbox of inspirations, so to speak, and a window onto his creative process. On display will be selections from his body of work and his personal archive spanning two decades, all seen through the prism of the inspirations behind them. Citofonare Trombetta (“Ring Trombetta’s Doorbell”) invites you in for a look into the life of an artist who has lived through photos. It is a private piece of him on display.

The exhibition’s other filo conduttore – and an important sticking point in Vicky’s work in general – is analogue. Together with the personal research, memories, and experiences that have gone into the making of his photos, his images are heavily influenced by the space he exists in. Appropriately, the images will be displayed together with objects from everyday life, creating a real sense of their context and story.

Not to be missed is the event’s gift for the first to arrive at the opening. On a table constructed by the photographer will be boxes – from his archive – which will contain fifteen, very limited-edition silver prints in editions of nine.

Opening June 21 in a new venue on Via Arena 19 at February.
