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.

Published on Artribune, this article announces “DéVoilées“, a solo exhibition by Alessandro Vasapolli held at the Auditorium of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin from September 13 to 27, 2018.
The exhibition, realized in collaboration with Franco Curletto, presented a selection of large-scale photographs from a broader project composed of 27 portraits of female backs, partially veiled and suspended in painterly atmospheres.
The feature highlights Vasapolli’s distinctive working method, which alters the photographic image at the moment of capture without digital post-production. The result is a series of works that blur the boundary between photography and memory, offering a poetic meditation on perception, identity, and presence.

Published by Corriere della Sera – Torino on September 12, 2018, this article presents “DéVoilées”, the solo exhibition by Alessandro Vasapolli hosted at the Auditorium of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin. On view from September 13 to 27, the show featured fifteen large-format photographs selected from a broader series of twenty-seven works.
The images portray the female figure from behind, enveloped in soft light and translucent veils that create a suspended, introspective atmosphere. Vasapolli’s approach—developed through a highly personal visual language—aims to evoke the fragility of memory and the subtle tension between presence and disappearance. The result is a series of photographs that appear closer to painting than to traditional portraiture, where perception is guided by suggestion rather than revelation.
By avoiding direct identification and leaving the subject partially obscured, DéVoilées invites the viewer into a space of ambiguity and contemplation, where each image becomes a meditation on intimacy, time, and the silent complexity of the visible.

Published in Milano Milano Excellence, Issue #11 (2018), this article introduces Alessandro Vasapolli’s artistic approach as a fusion of visual and emotional registers—a form of creative synesthesia. It highlights the development of his personal and innovative color-processing method, capable of generating unique, unrepeatable images that convey emotional depth through color. Described as a contemporary reinterpretation of “Boldinian” glamour, Vasapolli’s work emerges as both sensual and introspective.

Published in the June 2018 issue of Milano 24 Ore News, this article covers “Effemeridi“, Alessandro Vasapolli’s solo exhibition at Palazzo Crivelli, held from May 10 to 17.
The exhibition featured eleven large-format photographs that transformed the elegant ground-floor salon into an immersive visual environment.
The article reflects on the emotional and introspective tone of the works, highlighting Vasapolli’s focus on the psyche and inner presence of his subjects. Rather than merely portraying beauty, the images evoke movement, memory, and the ephemeral nature of perception. The featured photograph Serpentina—a tribute to the muse of Toulouse-Lautrec—exemplifies this poetic approach, where gesture, fabric, and light dissolve into one fluid composition.
