Nicola Lolli / Photography exhibition "Which way home?"


  • Akron gallery 17 Øvre Bakklandet Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag, 7013 Norway (map)

The current exhibition "Which way home?" renders a journey through Iceland, a land of dreamy and introspective landscapes, a metaphor of the search for identity. Each journey usually gives to the voyagers many gifts and discoveries, but it also raises questions about home: Where do I feel at home? What’s home? Which way home? For that reason, I have chosen to connect the pictures of this Iceland voyage to the play written by the Nobel Prize in Literature Derek Walcott “The Odyssey”, which is a modern adaptation of the Homeric poem and tells the wanderings of Odysseus: from the fallen Troy to his landing to Ithaca. The dialogues extracted from the play are like a silent talk between the characters, who I imagined live the scenes portrayed in the images, and the audience.

The exhibition consists of fifteen digital prints on hard foam boards in painted wood frames.

Nicola Lolli, is an Italian architect born in Rome in 1978, who lives in Trondheim since 2009. He has been interested in photography since mid-90s, passing through colour and B/W films and digital photography. Given his education in architecture, his photography shows a world filtered by love for composition, perspective lines, and geometry.
