Coming from The Fotografiska show in New York Vertigo Syndrome brings to the Reggia di Monza more than 200 prints in color and black and white, as well as contact sheets, original audio recordings with the photographer's voice, and Super 8 footage, visible for the first time only in this exhibition.
A formidable exploration of the particular human and artistic journey of the author who pioneered street photography, tracing the themes and subjects characteristic of her style: from the working classes to marginalized communities, providing a testament to the "dark side of the American dream" that reflects a changing nation.
A journey through time and a worldview without innocence, with children looking lived-in and adults looking fatigued even in their leisure time. But also the art of photography seen as an outlet valve, used to express one's emotions through images brimming with humanity, a sense of humor and beauty.
To complete the knowledge of the photographer and her work, visitors to the exhibition will be invited to enter a special room where they will try the immersive experience of Being Vivian Maier...
