Tutti i presenti che non sono mai esistiti

For the sixth year running, the South Tyrolean Artists' Association has been running the StadtGalerie Brixen with the aim of establishing a venue for contemporary art in Brixen. The content is conceived by a curator who changes every year.

In 2024, the programme year was successfully curated by Linnea Streit: five exhibitions on current topics with a total of 21 artists.

In 2025, Marco Pietracupa impressed the committee (Ivo Barth, Federico Giudiceandrea, Eva von Ingram Harpf, Josef Prader, Stefanie Prieth, Stefano Peluso and Alexander Zoeggeler) with his specialist approach of focusing intensively on the medium of photography and its innovative forms of expression.

Pietracupa, who comes from Brixen and now lives in Milan, dedicates his exhibition programme exclusively to new photography. It explores how new media and emerging technologies are expanding the creative possibilities in the field of photography. An artist and photographer himself, Pietracupa says of his programme: "The exhibitions I will be organising will highlight a selection of emerging and established artists who work with innovative approaches. Each exhibition is conceived as a visual journey, allowing the audience to explore works that go beyond mere photography and immerse themselves in a world of expanded artistic expression." New Photography is not only defined by technical advances, but also offers the opportunity
