Women in Sight: The Fragile Time of the Female Gaze According to Toni Thorimbert
Donne in vista: il tempo fragile dello sguardo femminile secondo Toni Thorimbert
The article reviews "Donne in vista" (Women in Sight), an exhibition of over sixty photographs by Italian photographer Toni Thorimbert, on view at the Centro per la fotografia Camera in Turin. The show spans more than thirty years of Thorimbert's career, featuring portraits of celebrities such as Monica Bellucci, Ornella Vanoni, Victoria Abril, Nancy Brilli, and Natalia Ginzburg, alongside anonymous subjects and intimate images of the photographer's own mother and daughter. The exhibition avoids a chronological layout, instead creating unexpected visual dialogues between images, and emphasizes Thorimbert's ability to move fluidly between fashion, editorial portraiture, and personal photography without settling into a single recognizable style.
