The seventh edition of The Phair brings together an international selection of photographic and visual experimental practices in Turin. The fair's layout favors uniform presentation to enhance visitors' reading of the works, positioning the event as a reference point for collectors, curators and professionals interested in contemporary imagery.

What to expect

• 42 participating galleries from Italy and abroad, with strong European representation;
• a curatorial approach focused on coherent, conversational exhibition routes;
• works ranging from documentary photography to conceptual and experimental image-making;
• opportunities for market operators and collectors to engage with selected projects.

Highlighted artists and projects

The program includes studies on nature and memory, from the botanical detail in Helene Schmitz's Clematis Tangutica to intimate urban narratives by Keila Guilarte. The fair also shows bodies of work addressing environmental and social issues, such as Nick Brandt's series shot across several countries.

Diverse practices are put in dialogue: contemplative landscape work by Paul Cupido sits alongside formal and conceptual investigations by both emerging and established authors, reflecting the broad references of visual culture.
