The Weekender Milan
Explore Milan through the eyes of Lorenzo Morandi in a melodic visual journey, moving between styles, trends, cultures, and changes. Morandi has never lived in the city as a resident, but knows it intimately as a commuter, dashing in and out at the beginning or end of a work day. The distance has given him a unique eye, knowledgeable about the details and hidden corners of Milan, yet able to explore it with the fascinated curiosity of a visitor. The idea of Milan changes, depending on the lens through which you view it. Morandi gives us many possible Milans in a single visit.
The beating heart of Northern Italy, Milan is a city of architecture and design, the worldwide capital of fashion. Vibrant and fast-moving, it is a place that is always at the forefront of trends, rapidly changing, always one step ahead. Yet it also has deep historical roots. In the Weekender Milan, Lorenzo Morandi captures these seeming contradictions in a slow journey through the city over a long weekend. Alert to its ongoing transformations in layers throughout the city, he shows you a vision of the city that is at once both timeless and a snapshot of a single moment.
Lorenzo Morandi is an Italian photographer and director. He collaborates with individuals, brands, and organizations to craft visual narratives for editorial content, cultural projects, exhibitions, and commercial productions. His practice is distinguished by a profound exploration of the human experience, focusing on the physical context in which it unfolds. His photography blends a descriptive and figurative component with a more conceptual search, which enhances the geometric and graphic component, influenced by his background in architecture and design.
Photographer: Lorenzo Morandi
How does an architect and engineer become a photographer? For Lorenzo Morandi, it started with the realization that people were often an afterthought in design.
Artist Review: Guillaume Sardin
Guillaume Sardin occupies an artistic space of wonder that is at once disciplined and childlike. A space where the warmth of a human hand overrides digital perfection, and the characteristic whimsy of his “narrative drawings” belie the deep skill that goes into the studied relaxedness of every line.
