Milan, Vincent Peters' shots of the world of stars and celebrities on display at Palazzo Reale

From Jan. 12 to Feb. 26, 2023, Palazzo Reale brings the shots of photographer Vincent Peters (Bremen, 1969) to Milan with a free admission exhibition entitled Timeless Time: a journey of shadows, reflections and chiaroscuro, in a succession of familiar faces made familiar by the use of light. The exhibition promoted by Comune di Milano-Cultura, produced and organized by Palazzo Reale and Nobile Agency, is curated by Alessia Glaviano, Curator & Head of Global Photovogue. With a timeless style, Vincent Peters’ works exhibited in the Appartamento dei Principi on the piano nobile of the Palazzo Reale are presented with a minimal setting that aims to enhance the powerful black-and-white images while marrying the beauty of the stately 15th-century rooms that house it.

Christian Bale, Kim Basinger, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, Laetitia Casta, Cindy Crawford, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Michael Fassbender, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich, John Malkovich, Charlize Theron, and Emma Watson are just some of the celebrities whose portraits are on display at the Royal Palace. Shots taken between 2001 and 2021 by Vincent Peters who, using impeccable lighting, elevates his subjects to a position that often transcends their celebrity status. What Vincent Peters portrays is the world of stars and celebrities, a modern Olympus that dissolves into an Italian neo-realist cinema atmosphere and approaches the public gaze, becoming familiar and recognizable.

His shots are dreamlike stories composed of overlapping layers that dialogue with each other, complementing each other. His work, in fact, is characterized by layering and distinction: each element that converges and condenses in each of his single shots forms a layer that never loses its own identity and distinction. And in the coming together of these singular layers, each of Peters’ images comes to tell a story. Until it becomes a film in a single frame.

For all information, you can visit the official website of the Royal Palace.
