The exhibition comprises two new bodies of photography and sculpture, and extends Christian’s uniquely imbricated practice that spans an extensive range of process, where works stem episodically from his ongoing published writing. The umbrella title of this new exhibition, Derma, evokes that part of our skin beneath the outermost layer, formed from dense and irregular connective tissue, which cushions the body from exterior stress and strain.
Toby Christian lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions and performances include Repeller with Good Gear, for Studio Audio, commissioned by AICA-UK (International Association of Art Critics) in collaboration with PEER, London (2020), Burners, Alessandro Albanese, Milan (2019), Old School New Body, Celine, Glasgow (2019), Trippy Scroller, PEER, London, (2018), The News, Swimming Pool, Sofia, curated by David Dale, Glasgow (2017), and Railing, Whitechapel Gallery, London (2017). His books Measures (2013) and Collar (2017) are published by Koenig Books, London, and his forthcoming book Commuters will be published by them in Spring 2021. Read more -

Since 1993, Vitali, an Italian photographer, started his series in large format that investigate human behavior with the aim of social analysis, through the repetition of the same composition with subtle differences. That year Silvio Berlusconi had won the first presidential elections in Italy, and the curiosity of how this change had affected daily life made Vitali begin to observe mass concentrations. Taken with a large format camera, the photographs have the technical imposition of having to be taken from a platform several meters high that contribute to this distance and focus. The normality of the holidays is an excuse to talk about false complacency, the illusory sense of well-being, the commodification of leisure, the invasion of nature, vital conformism, exposed sexuality, cynical hedonism.
Massimo Vitali (Como, Italy, 1944) lives between Lucca, Italy, and Berlin, Germany. He studied classical culture at the Liceo de Milao and later graduated from the London College of Printing. From the seventies to the nineties he developed his career as a photo reporter, focusing on the artistic production from the nineties on. Read more -
