THE CONCEPT Once again on the stage of the city of Palladio returns OUT OF PLACE, with a new format, which means to speak of the evolution of science and technology of the urban architecture of the city. The evolution of the set of Vicenza, who over the last century has undergone profound and significant changes characterizing the urban landscape. The aim is to show the changes that followed the two world wars, but also the evolution of science and technology of photography, which enable us to capture more and more changes and the possibility to make a concrete futuristic dream of our city. THE PROJECT The purpose of the event is to make touched, even "seen " the visitors, the change that Vicenza has undergone in the last century. Thanks to the intervention of the Foundation Vajenti, photos, black and white, show glimpses of Vicenza in the early twentieth century and relive the historic shops of the city, the habits and customs of the time and the habits of the people of Vicenza. This is the starting point. The photographers have portrayed the same views as they appear today, with the obvious and large differences between past and present. But we wanted to do more: to engage together with the photographers, the architects and graphic experts who have given free rein to their imagination in order to represent the same views as they would like them to be, how they would like to think that part of Vicenza. In this way you can see a dozen "triptychs" photographic images of a city suspended between past, present and a hypothetical future. LOCATION The exhibition of photographic works was held at the ground floor and the upper floor of the prestigious POINT OPTICAL shop, located in Contra Manin 22, in the historic center of Vicenza, just steps from the Palladian Basilica. The choice of optical shop is not accidental. You want to focus on a place of great space to allow all visitors the utmost enjoyment and, through the 'circles', create a symbiosis with the images that will be exhibited. The CREATOR Gianna Sartori comes from the jewelery world in which work since 1975. In the first years of activity has assumed the role of manager for the creative, production and sales of the three companies in the industry.

The scenario chosen for all events was the historic center of Vicenza, where the windows of some of the most well-known shops in the city have been transformed into a place of de-contextualization of the jewel.
