Exhibition Curator: Stefania Zorzi

Vasa is presenting the work of the Italian photographer Andrea Zampatti.

At first glance the work appears to fall within the genre of nature photography. Like any photographic works it is always more. What is brought to our attention is the rich and engaging experience the photographer has with his environment and subjects.

Any series or body of work represents the maker's relationship not only to the subject but to the history of image making whether it is documentary, aesthiclly based or commerical. Upon analysis we may recogize not only the photographer's social, political or aesthetic position but our own. It is the viewer who sees the work and creates its meaning through a dialog with the image and their own history. The image is as it is and is what the viewer makes it.

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA, since 2008, has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko and "Why??" curated by Sandeep Biswas.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
