Ciao!: Press release

 

Location
Oldenburger Kunstverein, Oldenburg, Germany

Dates
August 23 – November 17, 2024

 

At the end of an empty terrace somewhere between the foothills of the Alps and an Italian lake. Turquoise water, dry stone and warm light. The exhibition Ciao! by Talisa Lallai takes the viewer on a journey both into the outside world of photography, as well as their inner world.

Talisa Lallai was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1989 to Italian parents and grew up with a romantic, idyllic idea of Italy. In her works, she searches for motifs that correspond to this image of her parents' homeland, knowing full well that she is recreating her fictitious homeland. She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 2009 - 2016.

The presentation shows different facets of the nature of photography, takes a stand and challenges our perception.
