‘Magic from the shadows’: the dreamlike visions of Paolo Roversi – in pictures

The Guardian · 5 hours ago

A new exhibition titled *Doubts*, dedicated to the acclaimed Italian photographer Paolo Roversi, has opened at The MOP Foundation in A Coruña, Spain, running until 20 September 2026. The show brings together both celebrated masterworks and previously unseen images, offering an intimate journey through Roversi's artistic world and highlighting his lasting influence on fashion photography over a four-decade career.

The exhibition transforms the gallery into a series of interconnected rooms, each exploring a different facet of Roversi's aesthetic, including theatre, shadows, presence and fading. Known for working almost entirely within his Paris studio, Roversi embraces accident, blur and imperfection, viewing doubt as essential to creativity. MOP Foundation founder Marta Ortega Pérez said the exhibition invites visitors to withdraw from distractions and witness Roversi "conjure magic from the shadows".
