‘Visum’ is the capsule collection of Vanni eyewear designed by artist Teresa Giannico – winner of the Vanni #artistroom prize at Artissima 2022. On this occasion, Giannico’s exhibition L’atto di vedere opens, in collaboration with Viasaterna Gallery in Milan, at the Vanni Showroom.

Through her works, the artist reflects on the role of photography and on the implications the web has on our perception of the world. Asserting the inability of the photographic medium to represent reality, Giannico’s creative process involves the construction of a digital archive, built over time by downloading hundreds of images found across various online search engines (from Google to social media). From this archive she extracts and assembles fragments to create imaginary places and people, using a technique that brings painting and photography closer together.
