Who could ever forget those old-fashioned display cabinets, bearing the best china, photographs, souvenirs and memories of a lifetime? Paolo Riolzi, in his project “Vetrinette” aims to create a photographic world of our collective identity via the individual micro-stories told in these cabinets.
The project travelled through various cities in Italy before reaching Bolzano. On exhibition in the Museion Project Room are 1:1 scale photographs of the six display cabinets that were involved in this multi-phase project. Previously the cabinets had been on display, as part of the project, in the Cubo Garutti, the detached “little Museion” in the Don Bosco area of the city.
