Massimo Vitali

Artcore/Fabrice Marcolini, Toronto

Vistas. The works on display will include Vitali's famous beach images, including his largest work, an 8 element, 16 meters long polyptych titled Knokke. His technique ensures that every detail is captured with vibrant colour and clarity. This lucidity is what makes these photographs an anthropological survey of universal value. The individuals and the crowd, frozen in a moment, are exposed to our endless scrutiny.

Vistas

Artcore/Fabrice Marcolini is thrilled to present “Vistas” a major survey by the acclaimed Italian artist/photographer and New York Times regular contributing photojournalist Massimo Vitali. This is Vitali’s first-ever exhibition in Canada. The works on display will include Vitali’s famous beach images, including his largest work, an 8 element, 16 meters long polyptych titled Knokke. All Vitali’s photographs in our exhibition are massive (measuring a minimum of 180 x 220 cm), but his technique ensures that every detail is captured with vibrant colour and clarity. This lucidity is what makes these photographs an anthropological survey of universal value. Within each image lies a subtle and often profound documentation of human interaction between individuals at play and their environment of choice.

Furthermore, the size and density of Vitali’s large scale photographs allow the viewer to experience scenes as a participant, but from a view point that is often voyeuristic and detached. The individuals and the crowd, frozen in a moment, are exposed to our endless scrutiny. Each relationship and interaction, captured by Vitali's unnoticed camera as he stands atop an 18 foot tripod, is oblivious to its contribution to the whole. Massimo Vitali was born in Italy in 1944. In 1964, he studied photography at The London School of Printing. Vitali began a career in the 1960s in photo journalism for Italian and European magazines. In the 1980s he worked as a filmmaker for television and cinema and from the mid 1990s onwards he turned his attention to photography as a means for artistic research, shaping it into an original tool for portraying the world. His works are on show in museums and galleries throughout Europe and the USA.
