E se la Polaroid fosse esistita ai tempi della Bibbia? Se lo chiede il fotografo Mishka Henner in mostra a Modena
Belgian photographer Mishka Henner has opened his first solo exhibition in Italy, titled 'Seeing Is Believing,' at Palazzo Santa Margherita in Modena, presented by the Fondazione Ago. The show features 25 new works that explore the nature of photography in the age of artificial intelligence, including AI-generated images of biblical scenes presented as if they were historical Polaroids.
The exhibition directly questions photography's traditional role as a reliable witness to reality. By juxtaposing AI-generated imagery with the medium's history, Henner prompts viewers to reconsider concepts of truth, authenticity, and belief in a visually fluid digital era. The show, curated by Chiara Dall'Olio, runs until May 3, 2026, and is structured into four thematic sections examining the relationship between language, image generation, and photographic evidence.
