On show are the photographic works of Tiziano Terzani accompanied by his words. An exhibition that conveys not only the legacy of one of the most astute observers of our time, but also the message to humanity that continually transpires from his life: if we do not want to succumb to a materialistic future, we must look within ourselves. At the heart of Terzani’s narrative (as photographer, writer and observer) is an irreconcilable contradiction: on the one hand the celebration of the beauty of a still ancient continent, Asia, and on the other the lament for its gradual dissolution in the mad rush towards westernisation.
