RefleXions around Saul is a tribute to Saul Leiter, a journey of 5 installed works exposed within the exposition "Una finestra punteggiata di gocce di pioggia", the first major exhibition in Italy on Saul Leiter, produced by Vertigo Syndrome in collaboration with DiChroma Photography and curated by Anne Morin.

The works exhibited start from the cultural roots of the photographer, who at the time saw his creations through the mirror of his reflex camera. With these RefleXions, visitors will experience what Leiter felt when he shot with his Leica 35mm (or, more rarely, with a 6x6 Rolleiflex). An interior experience.
"RefleXions Around Saul" thus becomes "an exhibition within an exhibition" with which Patrizia emphasizes her poetics of whispering rather than shouting, in opposition to the period where everyone shouts. A journey, starting from the first installation "SussurrOcchio", in copper and bronze, an upside-down megaphone that invites to focus and enhances the immensity of the details and that, unexpectedly, leads to the next work "WOW" (which from an exclamation, transforms into the acronym Wall of Wonderings).
Other moments of reflection follow, in search of a relationship with one's interiority in the context. "RefleXions around Saul" is a tribute to the beauty and power of details in everyday life.
Returning to valorize the detail as a concrete act, faithful to her mantra "immer geradeaus".
