The
work of the photographer Gian Paolo Minelli frequently includes a strong human
involvement with the people he approaches, as in series of self-portaits of people
with whom he lived side to side in the suburbs of Rome and Buenos Aires. In the
Argentinian capital where he lives, he also made a corpus of photographies on
powerful and singular places, such as the ill-famed central prison or the scenery
depot of the Colon theatre, to the end of both fixing a memory and cretaing very
complex visual compositions. For his second Buenos dias - Gian Paolo Minelli is
the only artist who also took part in the exhibition Buenos dias Buenos Aires
- he made a sojourn in Santiago to prepare a series of photographies especially
made for the exhibition.
