The retrospective exhibition Guido Harari. Encounters. 50 Years of Photographs and Stories is coming to the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan from October 28, 2023, to April 1, 2024. As is tradition, the “Caverna magica” (Magic Cave) will also return, in collaboration with Epson. The first series of portraits, coinciding with the exhibition, will run from November 1 to 12. In this photographic set, visitors can, by reservation, have their portrait taken by Guido Harari and receive a 33x48cm Fine Art print of their portrait, signed and dedicated by the artist. A second print of the portrait will be displayed, on rotation, in the “Occhi di Milano” room within the exhibition. A low-resolution file of the photograph will also be emailed for social media use. No other files will be sent. Each portrait requires a reservation, which can be made at www.cavernamagicaharari.com. You can show up alone, as a couple, or in a group, with your favorite animal or the object you’re most fond of. Dark clothing is preferred, but don’t let this limit your imagination. You can purchase a print of an alternative shot from the same photo session by writing to: info@wallofsoundgallery.com. The “Magic Cave” has a dilated space-time dimension depending on the characteristics of the people who come to be photographed. Therefore, delays may occur, and we recommend, if necessary, patience and not making appointments immediately after the portrait ends.
Access to the “Magic Cave” is independent of the exhibition.
The Milanese stop of the “Magic Cave” marks the launch of a new initiative we’ve called “Suspended Portraits.” The portraits booked in the “Cave” will allow Guido to create, free of charge, a series of portraits of “less fortunate” Milanese residents of hospitals, shelters, and retirement homes selected in agreement with the City of Milan. These “Suspended Portraits” will also be added to the extensive “Eyes of Milan” collection. Building on previous experiences, the “Magic Cave” will be open several times during the exhibition’s stay in Milan to accommodate all requests. We will announce subsequent dates as soon as possible. Book your portrait here before they sell out!
