From December 6th to January 19th, 2025, the exhibition “Guido Harari. Eyes of Milan,” dedicated to the city and its residents, will be open in the Sala delle Colonne of the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan. The protagonists are not only well-known Milanese artists, such as Elio, Cochi and Renato, Ornella Vanoni, Paolo Jannacci, and the Teatro dell’Elfo, but above all ordinary people, thanks to two interconnected projects: “Caverna Magica” and “Ritratti sospesi.” The exhibition, created in collaboration with the Fabbrica del Vapore, Wall of Sound Gallery, and Epson, will remain open to the public with free admission until January 19th, Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. “Caverna Magica” is an ongoing project, which includes portraits that can be booked online at www.cavernamagicaharari.com and which will be enriched day by day by the gazes of anyone seeking a signature portrait.
The portraits, available by reservation, will enable a series of “Suspended Portraits,” which will be shot and donated by Harari to the “people” served by nonprofit organizations active in Milan. Among these, the artist has chosen VIDAS, a palliative care organization that assists people of all ages, both at home and in hospices; FONDAZIONE PROGETTO ARCA, which offers food support and housing to vulnerable individuals; CASA DELL’ACCOGLIENZA ENZO JANNACCI, which temporarily accommodates individuals and families in need; and PIZZAUT, two pizzerias run by people with autism that have become inclusion workshops. The “Suspended Portraits” will be exhibited alongside the other “Eyes of Milan,” contributing to the creation of a large fresco that will capture the gaze of the city.
