Lisetta Carmi, Jürgen Klauke: Insurgent Bodies

On the occasion of the Venice Gallery Weekend 2026, Ncontemporary and Alessandro Casciaro Venice are pleased to present Insurgent Bodies, dual exhibition dedicated to Lisetta Carmi (Genoa, 1924 – Cisternino, 2022) and Jürgen Klauke (Cochem, 1943), two leading figures in European photography who, through distinct yet equally radical paths, have explored the themes of identity, the body, and social representation. The exhibition will be accompanied by a curatorial text by Anna Daneri.

The dialogue between Carmi and Klauke brings together two distinct yet complementary perspectives: on one side, the urgency of giving visibility to a silenced community through the power of social photography; on the other, the act of aesthetic and conceptual subversion that turns the body into language. Two trajectories that, though born in distant contexts, converge today in a profoundly contemporary reflection on identity, gender, and expressive freedom.
