RIVUS ALTUS - Max Farina

RIVUS ALTUS - Max Farina 11.354 photo-fragments, 264 shooting hours, 15.963 people depicted. The result is not a single image, but a multiplicity of images.

Just a few statistics of Rivus Altus, the Max Farina photo project that reassembles an innovative concept of the most popular Venice postcard: the view from Rialto bridge. Max Farina recorded with his camera every variation of light and everything that happened, staying still for 264 hours at the same place: the centre of the Rialto Bridge, the most crowded and photographed place in Venice, facing

the Grand Canal. In two years, Max Farina has caught any change, focusing his attention on the single fragments that make up the landscape, as if looking through the eyes of flies and dragonflies. The visual perception depends on the variable and almost infinitely changeable editing, of every single piece that make up a perfect and unstable, fascinating and ever-changing landscape: both night and day, sunrise and sunset, yesterday and the day before yesterday ... Similar to puzzles, his images do not capture one single moment, but they become a perspective drawn by the time going by. They don’t interpret anything in a subjective or expressive way, but enhance the camera and its "mechanical" look, like a magical recording tool. Farina uses photography to create images that you can only get thanks to the camera and to its technological unconscious. He "shatters the stereotype of Venice" and offers a kind of machine à voir which invites us to see the Grand Canal as through a magnifying glass, to scrutinize the slightest details made by light and darkness, waters and skies, buildings and boats, crowds and silence...

🎨 Saved Art: Masterpieces Beyond War
📍 M9 – Museum of the 20th Century, Mestre
📅 March 15 – August 31, 2025

For the first time, the MuMa of Le Havre lends 52 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces — including works by Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Sisley, and Braque — that survived the bombings of World War II.

The exhibition commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the conflict and establishes a symbolic connection between Le Havre and Mestre, both cities deeply affected by war and now celebrating cultural rebirth.
