Photographs by: Nobuyoshi Araki, Gabriele Basilico, Nan Goldin, Massimo Pastore, Karen Stuke, Margherita Verdi, Wim Wenders, Luca Zanier, Tobias Zielony. The photographic works on display are part of the private collection of the founders of the PrimoPiano Gallery, active in Naples from 2006 to 2022, which since 2023 has moved its activity to the Foresta village of Tora e Piccilli, choosing the name "Heavenly Body" in homage to the last literary work of writer Anna Maria Ortese. Here, an area for artistic residencies will soon be established.

The works on display:

Massimo Pastore (Italy 1971), with the photographic work in kakemono form "Approdo", a photographer who, in recent years and with a poetic touch, focuses on the phenomenon of migration, author of the public art project Santi Migranti.

Margherita Verdi (Italy), with the black and white photograph "Fading Memories", a Tuscan photographer since the early 80s, author of several photographic projects, some of which on industrial archaeology and religious sites. She was the curator (from 1994 to 2004) of the European Women Photographers Award.

Wim Wenders (Germany 1945), with the photographic work "Red Skirt – Valley of the Gods – Utah 1977", an actor, director, producer, writer, screenwriter, editor, and, as he likes to call himself, a landscape photographer.

Luca Zanier (Switzerland 1966 – 2023), with the photograph "Humboldt University library – Berlin 2014" from the series Corridors of Power – a refined photographer, author of two photographic projects that have established him among the best European photographers: Raum und Energie and Corridors of Power.

Tobias Zielony (Germany 1973), with the work "17STREET", a German photographer internationally recognized for his projects with adolescents, prostitutes, and refugees portrayed in specific architectural contexts.

The works will be exhibited until August 30 in what were once stables and storage rooms of the building at number 23 in the Foresta village. The interconnected environments – which today include the bar area and exhibition spaces – lead visitors on a journey starting from a distant past: from the well to the cellar hand-carved in the lava, and then through an iron and glass door to reach a terrace yard where among lemon, mandarin, orange, and pomegranate trees, one enjoys a charming and changing panorama: the olive grove, the woods, the medieval village of Tora and the mountains of Alto Casertano, those of Molise, Lazio, Abruzzo. The perfect place to stop in an intimate and constantly temporary atmosphere. Breathe, drink and smile.
