Chromatic Alterations

The photographic project by Viviana Perghem and Camilla Poli was developed in collaboration with painter Italo Bressan, creating a synergy between photography and painting. Opening: Friday 12/09/2025 – 6pm – In-depth analysis of the artistic journey with art historian and curator Federico Mazzonelli. The photographers chose to document the different forms of colour blindness — visual anomalies mainly due to genetic causes — which involve an alteration in colour perception. The photographic work analyses the three main types of colour blindness:
● Protanopia (insensitivity to red)
● Deuteranopia (insensitivity to green)
● Tritanopia (insensitivity to blue, purple and yellow)
The stories of six people affected by these conditions are told through images that describe their daily lives. Photographic post-production techniques are used to simulate the perception of colours by those affected by colour blindness.
