Photography exhibition by Barbara Essl curated by Le Vie delle Foto
With the series Timeless – The Abandoned Space, Barbara Essl explores the forgotten places of Trieste – deserted cinemas, rusting port structures, gasometers and empty administrative buildings – transforming them into symbols of memory and change. For more than a decade, the artist has investigated abandoned architecture, capturing through her photographs spaces suspended in time and filled with social meaning. After her acclaimed exhibition at Magazzino 26 in 2023, Essl returns to the city with a new selection of works that place Trieste within a broader European context of transformation and rebirth.
Barbara Essl studied photography in Paris, quickly developing a distinctive style that explores the fleeting beauty of decaying and forgotten places, figures and objects. Through photographic techniques and mixed media, she restores a mysterious aura and new vitality to what has been lost. Her works have been exhibited in numerous international shows in Europe, the United States and China, and are part of both public and private collections.
The exhibition opening is scheduled for Sunday, September 7 at 6:00 p.m. at DoubleTree by Hilton Trieste, Piazza della Repubblica 1.
