SPAZIO CALMO

Spazio Calmo investigates the social and artistic meaning of the contemporary electronic and experimental music scene through the spaces that host it.
The photographic project, accompanied by four critical texts, portrays some architectures in Italy whose function and use have changed over time precisely through the transformation brought about by the intervention of music.

Photographs by Gabriele Daccardi, Antonio La Grotta, Stefano Mattea.
