Diana Markosian — Replaced: exhibition at Gallerie d'Italia, Turin

Diana Markosian. Replaced — Gallerie d'Italia, Turin

Intesa Sanpaolo presents Replaced, a solo exhibition by Diana Markosian at Gallerie d'Italia – Turin, curated by Brandei Estes. The project, presented in world premiere, is part of the EXPOSED Torino Photo Festival and combines photography, staged reenactment and autofiction.

The exhibition starts from the innocence of first love and develops into an inquiry on memory, identity and the fragility of romantic bonds. Through a film adapted for the museum’s immersive room and a series of reconstructed scenes, Markosian engages an actor to embody a past partner, investigating the uncertain boundary between memory and desire.

• Format: multimedia installation featuring an immersive film, photographs and staged sequences.
• Main themes: memory, identity, first love, the substitution of an intimate figure.
• Catalogue: co-published by Allemandi and Atelier EXB.
• Festival: included in EXPOSED Torino Photo Festival (third edition).
