The exhibition “Jeff Wall. Photographs” at Gallerie d’Italia in Turin brings together 27 works spanning four decades of Jeff Wall’s career. Renowned for his large-scale, staged photographs, the artist blends cinematic composition with documentary observation. His images transform everyday moments into thought-provoking scenes that explore themes of society, imagination, and perception. Highlights of the solo show include iconic works such as “The Thinker”, a photographic interpretation of Auguste Rodin's world-famous Bronze sculpture, and “The Gardens”, created near Turin and depicting figures wandering through a maze of hedges – an evocative meditation on time, identity, and the loss of paradise.
