THE “MAGIC CAVE” RETURNS TO ALBA! 2025

Read More

Guido Harari’s “Magic Cave,” again in collaboration with Epson, returns to Alba, at Via Zara 10, on selected dates from September 23rd to November 2nd.

The “Magic Cave” is not just a photo shoot, but rather a meeting place where reality and imagination come to life in an intimate space of exploration and discovery. Here, between awareness and unconsciousness, subjects are encouraged to let their uniqueness emerge.

The “Magic Cave”: who, what, how. Instructions for use

Each portrait requires a reservation, which can be made at www.cavernamagicaharari.com. You can show up for the portrait 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 that slow down your imagination.

Photographed subjects will receive a 33x48cm Fine Art print, signed by Harari with a dedication.

The photo file will be sent via email for social media use. No other files will be sent.

You can purchase one or more copies of the selected photo or alternative shots from the same photo session by writing to: info@wallofsoundgallery.com

Portraits in the “Magic Cave” take an average of one hour. This approximate time includes the creation of the portrait, its post-production, and printing. Therefore, there may be slight delays, so we recommend you be patient and refrain from making commitments immediately prior to the portrait.

Please note: The “Magic Cave” will be set up in Alba at Via Zara 10, a location just a 10-minute walk from the Wall Of Sound Gallery (Via Italo Gastaldi, 4). We will be happy to welcome you for a no-obligation visit before or after the portrait. You’ll be able to see photographs by all the photographers we represent, as well as a selection of music-themed books and posters.

We recommend booking here in advance to secure your portrait.

PRE-ORDER THE BOOK “OCCHI DI PERUGIA” OUT JUNE 27. GET YOUR SIGNED COPY!

Read More

On June 2nd, Guido Harari’s exhibition “Eyes of Perugia” closed, drawing over 3,000 visitors and producing over 160 portraits inside the “Caverna Magica” (Magic Cave) at Palazzo della Penna.

Of these, the Perugia city administration commissioned 50 (which was then nearly doubled thanks to Guido’s enthusiasm and the participation of the associations involved in the project). These portraits—reviving the highly civilized Neapolitan tradition of anonymously offered coffee—were called “Suspended Portraits.” Thanks to collaborations with Caritas, Innovarci, Borgorete, Capodarco, and Omphalos, Harari cast his gaze even into the most hidden corners of the city, offering us “eyes” full of humanity, truth, and life.

All these portraits, at the behest of the city administration and thanks to the support of the Innovarci Association, have now been brought together in a book, “Eyes of Perugia,” which Wall Of Sound Editions has happily chosen to publish. For the first time, the “Caverna Magica”/”Ritratti Sospesi” project takes shape in a book, capturing and capturing a tangible trace of the gazes of a city.

The book will be presented in Perugia on June 27th at 6:00 PM at the Loggia dei Lanari, where it will be available for purchase. You can pre-order now at this link to receive one or more copies signed by Guido. If you would like a dedicated book, please specify this in the notes to your order.

Free shipping until July 31st by applying the OCCHIPERUGIA discount coupon in your cart.

After the presentation, the book will be available at the Palazzo della Penna and Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria bookshops, as well as in bookstores and on Amazon.

GUIDO HARARI’S ANTHOLOGICAL EXHIBITION AND HIS “MAGICAL CAVE” COMES TO MILAN! 2023

Read More

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!

Read More

From March 14 to 18, 2023, Guido Harari will bring his “Magic Cave” back to the public in Matera. This concept begins with a photographic set and becomes a place where reality and imagination merge. This initiative follows an initial experience in Ancona, during the presentation of the retrospective exhibition Remain in Light.

Between awareness and unconsciousness, the Magic Cave presents itself as a place of self-irony and play, where subjects can be portrayed in their uniqueness. Interested users can book the experience and receive their portraits taken during the experience in exchange.

The experience, which will also include a series of photographs by Guido Harari, will be held from March 14 to 18 at Palazzo Malvinni Malvezzi in Matera, as part of the ANFM Convention. The total cost is €250, including shipping costs via DHL. The subjects portrayed will receive a 30x42cm Fine Art print, signed by Harari with a dedication. Those interested can request a print of an alternative shot from the same shoot.

Each ticket includes one portrait, but couples can also participate. Each portrait takes 30 minutes, and dark clothing is recommended.

Reservations are available via email and phone. Simply email info@wallofsoundgallery.com or call +39-0173-362324. Exclusive discounts are available for ANFM members.

“PINO DANIELE ALIVE. LA MOSTRA”. CATALOG PRESENTATION AND SIGNING IN NAPLES ON NOVEMBER 5, 2021

Read More

WALL OF SOUND GALLERY, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PINO DANIELE TRUST ONLUS AND THE MADE IN CLOISTER FOUNDATION, PRESENTED THE MULTIMEDIA AND TRAVELING EXHIBITION PROJECT “PINO DANIELE ALIVE. THE EXHIBITION.”

We celebrate the unforgettable Neapolitan artist PINO DANIELE with “PINO DANIELE ALIVE. THE EXHIBITION,” a multimedia and traveling exhibition project that launched in Naples, at the Made in Cloister Foundation, on September 18th and will remain open until December 31, 2021.

The project was conceived in collaboration with Pino Daniele’s son, Alessandro Daniele, and photographer Guido Harari.

The exhibition features, for the first time, large-format views of Pino Daniele’s iconic photographs, taken by the photographers who followed him most closely throughout his career. Images that graced the covers of his historic albums and previously unpublished photographs, digitized specifically for the exhibition: from youthful portraits taken by Lino Vairetti of the band Osanna, to images of Mimmo Jodice, Cesare Monti, Guido Harari, Luciano Viti, Giovanni Canitano, Adolfo Franzò, Roberto Panucci, and Letizia Pepori.

The evocative setting of the Made in Cloister Foundation, thanks to its architectural features, naturally guides the public on a multimedia journey, revealing the artist’s most complex and private aspects. The exhibition also features objects and instruments dear to the artist, including some of his guitars made famous by his album covers, the mandolin used for the recordings of Napule è, and his handwritten concert setlists. An exceptional soundtrack accompanies the public on their visit: some of the artist’s songs are presented in a new way, with audio excerpts of his voice and/or guitar alone isolated from the other instruments. To punctuate the deliberately more intimate dimension of listening, Pino Daniele’s breathing intersperses the various performances. The exhibition is also a container of non-profit activities curated by the Pino Daniele Trust Onlus, which, thanks to the collaboration of SIAE – Italian Society of Authors and Publishers, enriches the program with a series of moments of artistic-musical training with meetings dedicated to music high schools, institutions and courses accredited by the MIUR AFAM
