25 Feb CARLO BORLENGHI – IO SENTO – I FEEL CARLO BORLENGHI – IO SENTO
The exhibit Io Sento – I Feel featuring works by Carlo Borlenghi opens in Milan at 6 p.m. on Thursday, February 26. The most beautiful images by the great Italian sea photographer covering his over thirty-year career will be on exhibit at the Galleria Dream Factory in Corso Garibaldi 117 Milan.
Twenty-five photographs will guide visitors into a mesmerizing world where the sails, the shapes of the hulls, the rays of the sun and the spray of the waves take on new and unexpected shapes.
A small white boat sailing towards clouds as big as mountains; a spinnaker inflated by wind emerging from darkness; the backlight silhouette of a man etched against a colorful sail; Luna Rossa crossing the Amerigo Vespucci in the New Zealand waters; the hull of Alinghi airlifted from Switzerland to Italy. Carlo Borlenghi’s images narrate the most important moments of international sailing with unique vision and poetry.
The photographs are on display in various formats, from 40×70 cm to 180×270 cm.
