In the decade preceding the Covid-19 pandemic, Paolo Mazzanti held approximately seventy exhibitions. This archive presents a selection, highlighting those that marked significant moments in the development of individual artistic projects. The selection is not intended to establish a hierarchy among exhibitions, but rather to offer an insight into the evolution of his artistic research. His gratitude remains with all the people and institutions that have contributed to making these exhibitions possible.

The exhibitions document the development of Paolo Mazzanti’s artistic research and its relationship with exhibition space. Through different projects, the artist explores the relationships between perception, space, time and image. Photography is understood not merely as a representation of the visible, but as a means of questioning what lies beyond appearances. Each exhibition becomes an encounter between the artworks, the architecture of the space and the viewer’s gaze.
Artistic Research and Exhibition Space
- Perception: the images invite viewers to move beyond the simple observation of a subject, opening up different possibilities of interpretation.
- Space and time: central dimensions of the artistic research, expressed through relationships between form, light and perception.
- Artworks and architecture: within the exhibition space, the images establish new relationships with their surroundings and with those who observe them.
- The artistic journey: each project represents a stage in an evolving investigation, in which the artworks enter into dialogue with one another.
An exhibition is not merely the moment when artworks are presented to the public, but also an opportunity for further interpretation. The relationship with space, the arrangement of the images and the viewer’s journey contribute to creating new possibilities of understanding. The exhibitions documented here represent significant stages in an artistic investigation that, while exploring different visual languages and projects, consistently focuses on the relationship between human beings, nature, space and time.

La Vista del Tempo
This event-project is about a contemporary fictitious world, an imaginary city. It should be looked upon as a child walking into a cathedral. The writer-composer Rossini was a powerful musical illustrator of contemporary life in his age and by all standards a visionary genius and here takes centre stage.
Entro l’Esterno
To honour his land this photographer seems to search for origins, roots, beginnings that are gripped in the most romantic embrace of the landscape His search invariably leads him to an image which has been captured for centuries in countless paintings, prints and photographs;
Energia del tempo Tolentino
When I first saw the architecture framed by Mazzanti’s lens it immediately reminded me of Cesare Brandi’s travel books. It appeared to me that what it had in common with the great art historian was the same way of capturing and approaching the detail,
