Jeff Wall. Photographs — Exhibition at Gallerie d'Italia, Turin

Jeff Wall. Photographs

Dates: 9 October 2025 - 1 February 2026
Venue: Gallerie d'Italia – Turin, Piazza San Carlo 156

Gallerie d'Italia hosts Jeff Wall. Photographs, a comprehensive exhibition of works by Canadian photographer Jeff Wall (b. 1946). Across more than forty years, Wall has developed a practice that blurs staged composition and documentary observation: life-size photographs, often presented in lightboxes, that turn everyday scenes into charged, sometimes uncanny tableaux.

The exhibition traces Wall’s visual language from landmark works of the late 1980s to his most recent pieces. Recurring themes include nature, war, gender, race and class, reflecting how private experiences intersect with broader social and political issues. The display highlights Wall’s engagement with painting and cinema, and the influence of movements such as Italian neorealism.

Curator: David Campany, a leading photography curator and scholar, who presents an in-depth and cohesive interpretation of Wall’s oeuvre.
