Luca Campigotto (1962). With a degree in Modern History he began to take photographs at the beginning of the Eighties, concentrating on landscapes, architecture and industry. His work has been exhibited at the Mois de la Photo in Paris; the 47th Venice Biennale; MAXXI in Rome; MEP in Paris; IVAM in Valencia and the CCA in Montreal. His photographs are part of important private and public collections, among them the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris; the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation in Turin; the Museum of Photography in Cinisello Balsamo. Among his publications: "Venezia, immaginario notturno" 2006; "Sguardi gardesani", 2004; "L'Arsenale di Venezia", 2000; "Fuori di casa", 1998; "Molino Stucky", 1998; "Venetia Obscura", 1995. He has always had a great interest in writing. In 2005 the magazine Nuovi Argomenti published a selection of his images and poems.
Over these past three decades, the Laurence Miller Gallery has hosted approximately 250 exhibitions, and the list of these shows reflects the evolution of photography from the classic black-and-white medium that dominated much of the 20th Century, to today's large-format color contemporary works, as well as video. The gallery takes great pride in having given many emerging photographers their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, as well as having presented many of photography's greatest masters.
Thirty Years Thirty-One Photographers offers to both the connoisseur and the novice collector many of the most famous images shown along with rare prints from the Gallery's private collection. Here is a sampling:

The relationship between the different meanings and expressions of the word ‘skin’ is the theme of this exhibition. From the mummies of Alessandro Albert to the Miss Italys of Gianni Berengo Gardin, from Zed Nelson’s skin worked by plastic surgery to Annette Schreyer’s suffering skin of girls, Charles Frégers’ sumo wrestlers and Malick Sidibé’s black bathers, 18 photographers speak of colours, pathologies, old age, discrimination and beauty.

The research carried out by Luca Campigotto (born in Venice 1962) - certainly one of the most important personalities in the panorama of Italian contemporary photography - on war landscapes, started at the beginning of the Nineties and arose from the great writings of those who played leading roles in the Great War: ranging from "Un anno sull'altopiano" by Emilio Lussu to "The storm of Steal" by Ernst Junger, also including the indispensable and extremely detailed guides to war itineraries by Walther Schaumann.
Mountains become a sort of epic backdrop reflecting the drama and immense sadness of war. These are almost inaccessible places, perhaps only just deserving a name on maps, all of a sudden becoming necessary reference points, positions from which one cannot - one must not - withdraw.
