Published the 12th of January 2026

This months' featured exhibition is titled 'The Abandoned Future' by Davide Barzaghi

Abandoned Future is the eternal present of an enigmatic and mysterious stage on which faceless bodies, frozen gazes disheveled limbs and objects of a dramatic and obscure everyday life take turns. This project is a reflection on the direction that photography and society are taking. It is expressed in a series of self-portraits, mainly nude, in which I try to give my answers to this crucial question, screaming my need of truth. The rejection to homologation is one of the mainly theme, it is expressed in the total absence of filters, lenses or additional softwares. Abandoned Future is a journey into the way of living our time, a self therapy were I captured my emotions, my feelings, my hope and fears. This is the direction I decided to take in my life and these are the images i choose to talk about it.

I invite you to explore this strong conceptual exhibition where photography is self therapy capturing emotions, feelings, hope and fears.

This exhibition which will be exposed on our opening page / Gallery throughout January 2026.
