Turin presents the third edition of EXPOSED, a photography festival centered in 2026 on the theme Mettersi a nudo (literally "to bare oneself"). The program includes temporary exhibitions, talks, screenings and citywide initiatives that involve both institutional and independent spaces.

Program and main themes

The festival explores photography’s capacity to investigate identity, the body, representation and visibility. Curated by Walter Guadagnini, the festival combines historical projects and contemporary research with a strong focus on public engagement and site-specific presentations.

• Exhibitions: 18 temporary shows, both indoor and outdoor, arranged along a so-called "photography mile".
• Events: talks with authors, screenings and public activities
• Display design: a unified graphic and installation approach links interior and exterior spaces.

Featured artists and highlights

Notable projects in the program include:

• Toni Thorimbert - Donne in vista: a selection of portraits and fashion images focusing on the female figure.
• Yorgos Lanthimos - Photographs: photographic works related to his film practice, exploring isolation, body and psychological space.
• Bernard Plossu - Dopo l'estate: images from Italian islands that blend poetic vision and memory of landscape.
• Dean Chalkley - Back in Ibiza and other stories: series documenting music culture and portraits.

Practical tips for visitors

To make the most of the festival:

• Plan your route: exhibitions are spread across multiple locations—allow time for travel.
• Check opening hours and individual venue schedules.
• Attend talks and screenings to deepen your understanding of the exhibited work.

EXPOSED 2026 aims to present photography in dialogue with the city, offering a broad overview of both Italian and international photographic practices across diverse spaces.
