The monumental complex of San Nicolo hosts the personal exhibition of the New York photographer Mary Manning. His accurate juxtapositions of 35mm analog prints depict people, nature, roads and much more. Conceptualizing the statement “paying attention as a practice of being alive”, the artist focuses on the importance and meaning of modest and trivial situations and things. The exhibition is enriched by some shots taken by Manning during the last edition of the Festival, on the occasion of his residence at Mahler & LeWitt Studiosin 2022.
