Nudo. I libri fotografici dal 1895 ad oggi examines the photographic nude through the specific medium of the book, tracing how representations of the body have been shaped

, circulated, and reinterpreted across more than a century of photographic publishing. Rather than focusing on individual images alone, the publication foregrounds the photobook as a cultural and aesthetic framework in which ideas of the nude are constructed and negotiated.

The selection reveals how changing artistic, social, and technical conditions have influenced the depiction of the human body—from early artistic and scientific approaches to modernist experimentation and contemporary redefinitions of intimacy, identity, and desire. Sequencing, layout, paper, and reproduction are treated as integral components in shaping meaning, emphasizing the book as an active space of interpretation.

By bringing together a wide range of photographic publications, the book approaches the nude not as a fixed genre, but as a mutable field. It highlights how the photographic book functions as a site where visual conventions, ethical questions, and aesthetic strategies intersect, continually reshaping how the body is seen and understood.
