A Matter of Light : Contrasto : 9788869657528 : 8869657523 : 14 Feb 2019 : Setting the birth of a new collection is indeed one of the best ways for a museum to demonstrate its vitality. An ambitious enterprise especially for the ?Museum of Museums?, namely the Museums of the Pope, which over the centuries of their history have repeatedly been faced with expansions and additions of new collections. A Matter of Light is a project aimed to create the first collection of contemporary photography in the Vatican Museums. A need turned into an opportunity for experimentation: to transform a historical, social, multicultural, ?ritual? or fully symbolic place such as the Vatican Museums, into the object of the creative and interpretative work by nine international photographers, diverse from the perspectives of research, education, style and origin.
