Max Farina: Between Architecture and Photography
Max Farina, born in Milan in 1974, graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan. Starting in 1991, he immersed himself in the world of photography, focusing on reportage, architecture, and landscape documentation. He conducted commissioned photographic research and initiated personal artistic projects. In parallel with his roles as an architect and photographer, in 2010, he founded the Farina Zerozero studio.
In 2012, he launched the Rivus Altus project, centered on the Rialto Bridge in Venice, an ongoing project. At the same time, Max Farina is creating a series of fragmented views over time through a process of “visual exhaustion,” coined with the neologism CRONORAMIs. For over 10 years, using an infinite photographic stakeout process, he has documented changes in cities like London, Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Milan, Venice, Lake Como, and many others.
In 2016, he organized a unique and comprehensive exhibition titled “Rivus Altus,” presenting the first two years of visual stakeout on the Rialto Bridge. In 2014, with the photographic project “Nella Città,” he won first prize in the “Periferie Possibili” contest organized by the Renzo Piano G124 group.
Beppe Borella: The MILLENIALS Series
Beppe Borella’s MILLENIALS series, with its immediately recognizable forms reminiscent of symbols of contemporary society and culture, draws inspiration from the iconic Lego figure, enlarged and crafted from a material as hard as it is precious, such as marble.
GAME NO WAR
evokes the famous motto “peace no war.” The call to take a light-hearted approach to our future translates into the revaluation of the playful dimension, where games contribute to making our existence lighter. Transforming war elements into play objects means condemning the war, which over the centuries has brought only impoverishment and pain to humanity.
Beppe Borella’s works invite reflection on the challenges of contemporary life through a playful and critical lens, using marble to convey a powerful message of peace and hope for the future.
