Atto 1/3: Sotto la Luce


Atto 1/3: Sotto la Luce at the Bigaignon x Rhinoceros Gallery

Light, the foundation of all creation, has always been one of the most sought-after and explored themes in art history. In photography, it is inseparable from the medium itself — created through it and shaped by it. This group exhibition brings together 19 works (photographs, paintings, sculptures & installations) by 15 artists of the gallery, each interpreting light as the central theme.

About Galerie Bigaignon
Bigaignon is a Paris-based contemporary art gallery. The line of the gallery finds its roots in the avant-garde movements of minimalism, conceptual art, light & space, abstract art, and in the fields of experimental & conceptual photography for which it has been playing a leading role for almost 10 years. Profoundly engaged in the promotion of artists who work the fundamental elements of light, space and time, whatever the medium they use, the gallery is contributing to the rise of a new avant-garde. As such, with a strong international focus, the gallery defends and promotes the unique vision of artists it represents or supports, whether they be emerging, mid-career or established worldwide, in their quest to propose a new visual vocabulary, to foster a radical approach to art, to challenge their own medium and to explore the full extent of its possibilities. The gallery presents its very first exhibition in Rome in partnership with the Rhinoceros gallery - a unique place imagined by Alda Fendi and designed by Jean Nouvel, in the heart of the Italian capital.
