ENDLESS TITLES


During the Turin Art Week, the ASPESI store in Turin transforms into a temporary exhibition space to host Endless Titles, a show by art photographer Sebastiano Pellion di Persano—one of the most admired by artists and gallerists across Europe—curated by Gianluigi Ricuperati.

In Sebastiano Pellion’s photographs, visitors can discover works and faces such as those of Gilberto Zorio and Grazia Toderi, Tunga, Luigi Ontani, Stevens Sherwar, Anthony McCall, Koen Vanmechelen, Alis Filiol, as well as independent realities like Almanac.


The exhibition, conceived by the curator, invites the public to play with words and images in a continuous dialogue between photography and language. As in the famous “caption contest” of the New Yorker, visitors will be able to give voice to the silence of the images by writing their own title for the exhibited works. Endless Titles intertwines the refined poetics and cultural passion typical of ASPESI with the participatory dimension of word and image, transforming the store into a laboratory of shared creativity and aesthetic reflection.

WHAT DOES THE SILENCE OF AN IMAGE TELL US?


Silence is a key word for ASPESI—so much so that it has become the manifesto printed on its iconic T-shirt. With Endless Titles, ASPESI explores the silence that precedes the word: the one that lives within every image, before someone tries to name it.

Every photograph is, after all, a pause—a moment taken away from noise, from time, from explanation. It is an invitation to suspension, to listening, to the freedom to interpret. Because silence, like style, does not impose: it leaves space. What does the silence of an image tell us? Perhaps everything we had not yet found the words to say.
