New Exhibition Highlight

Abelardo Morell: Projecting Italy

On loan from the Fitchburg Art Museum, Abelardo Morell: Projecting Italy highlights twelve photographs of sites in Italy by world-renowned photographer Abelardo Morell. Morell found a way to transform interior spaces such as hotel rooms and offices into giant camera obscuras which allows for whatever is happening outside to be projected inside. The result is a unique view of iconic landmarks such as the Pizza San Marco in Venice as they are cast against furniture, wall hangings, doors, and other furnishings. See if you can distinguish the outside world from the interior fixtures in all of Morell's photographs currently on display at MAM.
