Paolo Roversi – Studio Luce is a unique opportunity to get to know the work of the great photographer Paolo Roversi. Paolo Roversi was born in Ravenna in 1947. In 1973 he moved to Paris, where he still lives and works in his studio in Rue Paul Fort – the very same Studio Luce the exhibition/book is named after.
The photographs contain numerous references to his hometown, Ravenna, the place that more than any other has shaped his imagination. His first fashion photographs and a series of portraits of friends and artists, are alternated with still lifes of stools collected in the street or those of Paolo’s long-trusted Deardorff camera. Among his most recent works, some shots for the Pirelli 2020 Calendar, as well as a series of previously unreleased fashion shots from his decades of work for brands such as DIOR and Comme des Garçons and for magazines such as Vogue Italia.
As a tribute to the seven-hundredth anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death, there’s a vast selection of shots directly from Roversi’s archive that celebrate and reinvent the figure of the muse – as an ideal reference to Dante’s Beatrice from the Divina Commedia – interpreted here in a contemporary way by iconic women such as Natalia Vodianova, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Rihanna.
