Buon compleanno Freak! Scatti inediti

from 17 Apr 2024 to 6 Jan 2025 @ Sala della Musica
Biblioteca Salaborsa piazza del Nettuno, 3 Bologna

curated by Roberto Vatalaro

In 1979, in the intimacy of an eclectic photography studio in the city center, Freak Antoni and Roberto Vatalaro conducted three photo sessions.

These shots, previously unpublished, offer a playful, irreverent, and simultaneously identifying perspective of Freak and his communicative ability.

Roberto Vatalaro's eye, his dialogue with shadows and lights, and his sensitivity in capturing the most lively and pungent moments are now represented by this exhibition, where the photographs emerge, but above all, the atmosphere and energy of those moments.
