Sessantacinque fotografie che ritraggono persone di tutto il mondo, assorte nella letture. E' la mostra "Steve McCurry - Leggere", che si aprira' a Torino a Palazzo Madama il 2 marzo. Le fotografie che rendono omaggio alla parola scritta sono accompagnate da una serie di brani letterari scelti da Roberto Cotroneo, in una sorta di percorso parallelo. Un contrappunto di parole dedicate alla lettura che affiancano gli scatti di McCurry, coinvolgendo il visitatore in un rapporto intimo e diretto con la lettura e con le immagini. Curata da Biba Giacchetti, la mostra e' costituita da una selezione di scatti realizzati da McCurry in oltre quarant'anni di carriera e comprende la serie di immagini che egli stesso ha riunito nel volume pubblicato come omaggio al grande fotografo ungherese Andre' Kerte'sz. Arrivano dalla Turchia, dall'Italia, dall'Afghanistan, da Cuba e dagli Stati Uniti gli scatti che documentano momenti di quiete durante i quali le persone si immergono nei libri o nei giornali. Giovani o anziani, ricchi o poveri, religiosi o laici: la lettura e' un atto trasversale, sembrano dirci le foto di McCurry. La mostra, che si chiude il primo luglio, e' completata dalla sezione Leggere McCurry, dedicata ai libri pubblicati a partire dal 1985 con le foto di Steve McCurry, molti dei quali tradotti in varie lingue: ne sono esposti 15, alcuni ormai introvabili, insieme ai piu' recenti, tra cui il volume edito da Mondadori che ha ispirato la realizzazione di questa mostra. Tutti i libri sono accompagnati dalle foto utilizzate per le copertine, che sono spesso le icone che lo hanno reso celebre in tutto il mondo. Fonte: Askanews
