Televisiva

Photographer Stefano De Luigi explores how Italian TV shifted in the 1990s, from a cultural beacon to a shallow source of distraction and pleasure. Text in English and Italian. In the 1980s and 1990s, with the rise of Silvio Berlusconi, Italian television started changing its face. What was once a monochrome yet illuminating beacon of culture turned into a blinding excuse for everything. Forget ignorance, there's pleasure! Never mind understanding, just don't look deeper! In his new book, photographer Stefano De Luigi decodes the hard truths that lie hidden in the static. Curated by Laura Serani with brilliant commentary by Pietro Grossi, the book will be launched in November at Paris Photo.
