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

Diana Markosian. Replaced — Gallerie d'Italia, Turin

Dates: April 10 – September 6, 2026

Gallerie d'Italia in Turin presents Replaced, a solo exhibition by Diana Markosian curated by Brandei Estes. Part of the third edition of Exposed – Torino Photo Festival, the show combines still photography and a film adapted for the museum’s immersive room.

The work examines relationship dynamics after a breakup: the endurance of memory, the sharing of places and gestures once thought exclusive, and the experience of being replaced. Markosian stages reenactments with an actor and uses cinematic sequences to probe how desire and memory reshape intimacy.

What to expect

• New photographic series exploring the tension between presence and absence;
• Film for the immersive room: single-frame images, split-screen juxtapositions and extended narrative sequences;
• An installation that blends documentary and staged elements to expand the temporal scope of the work.
