Massimiliano Tappari

Finding wonder close to home

conference – show for all – ages 6 and up
60 minutes

«Genius and irresistible», is how Stefano Bartezzaghi defines the work of Massimiliano Tappari, who is capable of discovering surprises that are hidden right before our eyes with his camera. For kids it will be practice in activating their observation skills. For grown ups an incentive to turn the framework of photography upside down.

With his camera, Massimiliano Tappari tells the stories hidden in small things. He wrote Oooh! Inventario di fotografia (2008) and Coffee Break (2006) published by Corraini and Infanzia di un fotografo (2021) published Topipittori.

With Chiara Carminati he has published A fior di pelle (Lapis, 2018), Ninna No (Lapis, 2019) and Occhio ladro (Lapis, 2020, Italian Andersen Award 2021 as Best Artist Book). In 2022, Piccolo verde was published by Editoriale Scienza.
