Anastasia Samoylova | Harbor

Anastasia Samoylova's newest project, Harbor, will be featured in a solo exhibition at Gallerie d'Italia in Turin. In this exhibition, curated by Emanuela Mazzonis di Pralafera, Samoylova pursues her own photographic analysis, revealing the soul of seven European port cities: Genoa, Venice, Rotterdam, Marseille, Lisbon, Athens and Istanbul. Ports are structural spaces that have evolved in time and space. They are a nexus of transformations, intersections, dynamism, contradictions, inclusions and exclusions, wealth and poverty, past, present and future. Samoylova captures this euphoria of sounds, colours, shapes, shadows, light, solids and voids with her camera, offering a rather unique glimpse of the ports she has chosen. With the kaleidoscopic vision that sets her work apart, which conveys the subject through the overlapping of various visual layers, her pictures invite us to pause, to look closely and to take the time needed to observe them. A new catalogue, Anastasia Samoylova.Harbor, accompanies this project.
