From 19 to 22 March 2026, on the occasion of the MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas, MUSEC presents Summa, an exhibition of black and white works by German photographer Hans Georg Berger (born 1951). The project brings together 35 photographs, most of which have never been seen before, carefully selected from the artist’s archives. These long-preserved and now rediscovered shots form a body of work of particular aesthetic value and bear witness to the consistency and depth of Berger’s research over a period of more than forty years. The exhibition, curated by Sabrina Camporini e Francesco Paolo Campione, is conceived as a thematic and circular journey develops from nature to human experience, from the body to architecture, to the aesthetic and intellectual dimension, before returning to the starting point. The selection of works, most of which are unpublished, stems from an aesthetic consideration: it includes his first Irish shots, photographs of Elba (in particular at the Hermitage of St. Catherine), life in Munich, images of Asia and his trip to Egypt with Hervé Guibert.
On March 20 at 4:00 p.m. in the Talk Area, a conversation will be held as part of the Fair’s cultural program between Hans Georg Berger, Francesco Antonioli, and Francesco Paolo Campione.
