KENNA-CATANY. Venice
After the exhibition ‘El Paisatge del sentiment’ (2023), we welcome a second show by the photographer Michael Kenna at Sala Parés. On this occasion, we establish a dialogue between a selection of the series that the British photographer has produced on Venice since 1980 and the pictures that Toni Catany (1942-2013) dedicated to the Italian city. Although Kenna and Catany never met, they admired each other. The confluences between the two proposals are constant and, at times, even evident, and denote a shared sensibility. The convergences, both in the Venetian series presented in Space 1 and in the still lifes shown in the Space 3 of the gallery, highlight this invisible link between the two gazes. ‘Kenna-Catany. Venècia’ is the result of the connections between the two photographers raised in the exhibition that opened at the Toni Catany International Centre of Photography in Llucmajor (Mallorca) in mid-2023.
