Alberto Venzago: Taking Pictures – Making Pictures
Zurich photographer and filmmaker Alberto Venzago masterfully shuttles between the worlds of reportage and advertising, documentary and fiction.
In gripping photo essays and films, he casts a critical gaze on world events, while in parallel creating carefully styled imagery for global brands and world-famous stars. Venzago’s first museum exhibition showcases his work in an opulent retrospective.
