The work of  MASSIMO LISTRI is something a bit different that I’m used to feature on WFW but I really appreciate his surreal shots closed to the technical perfection.

His images are often focused on inside environments of great architectural importance, some open to the public, others not easily accessible, in which the history, the culture, the know-how of whole decades are layered.

The central and frontal perspective of his photos involves the spectator in the silence of the rooms, in the magnificence of the constructions bringing to memory known spaces but ever visited in reality. LISTRI‘s photographs, examples of technical perfection and formal rigor, testify his own personal aspiration to capture and to exalt the beauty, even where it doesn’t apparently seem to be present, and the desire to understand and to disclose the secrets of each human creation.

MASSIMO LISTRI is considered one of the greatest photographers of interiors and architecture in the world. He collaborates with several magazines including “AD” and “FMR”, of which in 1981 has been one of the founders together with VITTORIO SGARBI. He has published from the first Eighty around 50 books and has exhibited in several public institutions with important personal shows.
