New Year New Photo

Didn't actually take many photo in 2023, even less with the actual camera, mostly just snapped some photo with my cell phone. So, there are limited choices for me to choose one for the CDP January Theme - Photo Of The Year.

For the CDP January theme - Photo of The Year, I would like to present my very first photo taken in 2024, just a few minutes past 2023.

Just past midnight, someone fired some fireworks at the corner of the street below our apartment, it was easily seen from our balcony.

Guarding The Royal Garden

There is this little container hut a few distance from the entrance to the Royal garden, in it there is the guard.

I don't know what the guard does inside there, but it feels cool to be in it, in the garden.

Picasso Rendez-Vous At Turin

The exhibition is hosted in the splendid eighteenth-century halls of Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana, in the heart of the city of Turin.

And this is the first time I have stepped into this magnificent palazzo.

The exhibition lives on two moments: in the theater on the ground floor it opens with 50 imaginary letters and 50 photos. Through the writings, elaborated by the French writer David Lawrence, the viewer is accompanied into Picasso's experience. The intention of this first part is to make the relationship with the artist more intimate to better understand his creative path. 

 

After crossing the splendid eighteenth-century courtyard of Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana, on the main floor where the Belgian Jean Cristophe Hubert curated the exhibition of around 300 works, creating a painting overview of Picasso's vast production. Drawings, ceramics, sculptures, engravings and graphics made with every type of technique and coming from private collections, they give a complete vision - and to most unknown – of the talent and never-satiated creative hunger of the Spanish artist.
