Everything Is Bright Here: Lucia Buricelli’s first solo show in Italy

Everything Is Bright Here: Lucia Buricelli on show in Rome

Venue: Galleria Zema, Via Giulia 201, Rome. Run: opened April 10, 2026 — on view until May 28, 2026.

Everything Is Bright Here is Lucia Buricelli’s first solo exhibition in Italy, bringing together a series of photographs taken in New York from 2019 to 2025. The project explores contemporary urban life and perceptual conditions of the metropolis through an intensely chromatic visual language.

Using direct flash and close framing, the works compress space and intensify the surface of reality. Color operates as a selective device: it does not merely describe scenes but directs and unsettles the gaze, filtering the visual excess of the global city.

• Production period: photographs made in New York between 2019 and 2025.
• Main themes: chromatic saturation, urban consumerism, hyper-visibility of images.
• Formal approach: direct flash, tight framing, spatial compression.
• Project notes: some works are drawn from Don’t Feed the Animals (Eyeshot Magazine, 2024).

Buricelli’s practice moves from street photography towards a deliberate construction of the image: the photographic gesture amplifies and transforms the city’s visual and social dynamics. The result is an ordinary reality charged with a near-theatrical intensity, prompting viewers to reconsider how we look at, consume and inhabit images today.

Practical info: the exhibition runs until May 28, 2026 at Galleria Zema, Rome. For opening hours and ticket information contact the gallery directly.
