Published by La Stampa on September 21, 2018, this article presents an in-depth look at Alessandro Vasapolli’s exhibition DéVoilées at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin. Featuring fifteen female portraits, the series is described as an exploration of memory, identity, and the unseen, where each image captures the subject from behind to evoke a sense of intimacy without disclosure.
The article highlights the artist’s belief that photographs should resemble memories—slightly imprecise, open to interpretation—and focuses on Vasapolli’s use of in-camera techniques to achieve painterly, veil-like effects without digital manipulation. It also recounts the genesis of the collaboration with Franco Curletto, which led to the realization of the series over a two-year period.
Positioned at the intersection of photography, aesthetics, and perception, DéVoilées is presented as a meditation on the visible and the hidden, inviting viewers to engage with the image not through recognition, but through suggestion.
