Tobias Zielony – The Hidden
La Galleria Lia Rumma di Milano presenta The Hidden, la prima mostra personale in Italia del giovane fotografo tedesco Tobias Zielony
Comunicato stampa
Segnala l'evento
La Galleria Lia Rumma di Milano presenta The Hidden, la prima mostra personale in Italia del giovane fotografo tedesco Tobias Zielony. Il titolo della mostra si riferisce all’ultima serie fotografica realizzata dall’artista alla periferia di Los Angeles. The Hidden, intende mettere in luce una realtà sociale nascosta, solitamente posta ai margini rispetto ai grossi centri. Le foto di Zielony, infatti, partono tutte da un’indagine compiuta tra i sobborghi delle città e presentano interessanti combinazioni tra architettura e ritratto. I giovani volti catturati dall’obiettivo dell’artista hanno spesso uno sguardo assente o sfuggente e rivelano le delicate dinamiche adolescenziali: inquietudine, isolamento, smarrimento, logica del branco, desiderio di appartenenza a un gruppo. In altri casi l’architettura è l’unica protagonista delle foto. Tuttavia, queste immagini risultano essere complementari rispetto alla serie dei ritratti e concludono un’indagine che appare univoca. L’interesse dell’artista per il paesaggio urbano, infatti, non è legato alla sua potenzialità estetica, quanto al suo valore di “habitat”. Si tratta del contesto, del luogo nel quale i protagonisti delle sue foto, si trovano ad interagire, che ci permette di aggiungere dei tasselli mancanti alle loro storie nascoste. L’esposizione propone, inoltre, una rassegna di slide proiettate a parete che mostrano alcuni tra i suoi lavori più noti, raccolti sotto il titolo di Behind the Block. Si tratta di immagini realizzate tra Bristol, Marsiglia e altre cittadine nell’est della Germania. Ponendo a confronto le immagini recenti realizzate negli Stati Uniti, con quelle precedenti scattate tra le città europee, l’artista traccia un filo rosso che collega tra loro delle realtà che pur essendo molto diverse da un punto di vista sociale e culturale, sono accomunate da dinamiche affini.
Tobias Zielony è nato nel 1973 a Wuppertal, nella Germania dell’ovest e si è formato alla Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst di Leipzig. Nel 2006 ha vinto una borsa di studio e si è trasferito negli Stati Uniti. Attualmente vive e lavora a New York. Tra le mostre realizzate negli ultimi anni segnaliamo le due personali del 2006 alla Kunsthaus di Glarus (Svizzera) e al Centre de la Photographie di Ginevra, la collettiva itinerante Populism del 2005, presentata al Centre for Contemporary Arts di Vilnius, al Museum for Architecture, Art and Design di Oslo, allo Stedelijk Museum di Amsterdam e al Kunstverein di Francoforte e la collettiva del 2006 Street: behind the cliché, al Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art di Rotterdam.

The Lia Rumma Gallery in Milan is pleased to present The Hidden, the first personal exhibition to be held in Italy by the young German photographer Tobias Zielony. The title of the exhibition refers to the latest series of photographs taken by Zielony in the outskirts of Los Angeles. As its title suggests, The Hidden is designed to highlight a social reality that is hidden and usually situated on the margins of large urban centres. The starting point for all Zielony’s photos is his investigation of the city suburbs and the images display interesting combinations of architecture and portraits. The young faces captured by the artist’s lens often have vacant or evasive expressions and reveal the delicate dynamics of adolescence: unease, isolation, disorientation, the herd mentality and the desire to belong to a group. In other cases, architecture is the sole protagonist of the photos. Nevertheless, these images prove to be complementary to the series of portraits and conclude an investigation that appears quite unambiguous. The artist’s interest in the urban landscape is not linked so much to its aesthetic potential as to its value as a “habitat”. This relates to the context, the place in which the protagonists of the photographs interact, which enables us to add the details that are missing from their hidden stories. The exhibition also contains a selection of slides projected onto a wall showing some of the artist’s most famous works, grouped under the title Behind the Block. These images were taken in various places from Bristol to Marseilles and other towns and cities in East Germany. By comparing the recent photos taken in the United States with the previous ones taken in various European cities, the artist traces a red line that links situations which, despite being extremely different from a social and cultural perspective, share similar dynamics.
Tobias Zielony was born in 1973 at Wuppertal in West Germany and studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. In 2006 he was awarded a study grant and moved to the United States. He currently lives and works in New York. Among the various recent exhibitions of his work, we would highlight the two personal exhibitions organised in 2006 at the Kunsthaus in Glarus (Switzerland) and the Centre de la Photographie in Geneva, the travelling exhibition Populism of 2005, presented at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Vilnius, the Museum for Architecture, Art and Design at Oslo, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunstverein in Frankfurt and the collective exhibition of 2006 Street: behind the cliché, held at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam.
