Summary:
''Provisoria'' is an alternative image archive curated by Ria Verhaeghe since the early 1990s, sourced from international newspapers. Organized by keywords, dates, and thematic groupings, the archive is an effort to explore a different dimension of photojournalism. The images—often dramatic, ambiguous, or unsettling—explore the raw and layered emotional dimensions of photojournalism. With over 60,000 images, the collection spans from the striking and dramatic to the ambiguous, grotesque, and unexpectedly tender. Three sections—Human Interest, Fusion and Mindwaves—offer insight into the archive’s conceptual range. Fusion explores how we interpret images, grouping photographs by visual or symbolic qualities: featuring categories like shadows (simulacre), icons (icon), double images (glende), traces (trace), as well as those that are surreal (alien), aesthetically compelling (beauty), or energetically charged (move or MUD, for “multi-use dimension”). Mindwaves, by contrast, is structured around formal visual qualities: packaging (emballage), texture (such as Fourche, Circle, Amorf, or Geometric), and connection (connection, including subcategories like Human, Realea, and Strip). The Human Interest section (Icarus, Verticals , WWEB and Trümmerfrauen) contains images and notes focused on human emotion, empathy, and compassion.

Summary:
Pippa Garner’s work challenges the conventions of art by putting into play fashion and consumer culture with her subversive, visionary insight. Featuring a selection of images that includes never-before-seen photographs and editorial projects spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s, Personal Ads reveals Pippa Garner’s capacity for reimagining everyday life and turning it into a cultural critique. It brings to the fore how she employed fashion as a tool for bodily reinvention and art as a vehicle for personal and political expression — highlighting how she rejected categorization to embrace hybridity, humor, and radical transformation. The publication includes an interview with Pippa by Luca Lopinto, former director of Macro museum (Rome), an artistic contribution by fashion collective BLESS and an introduction by Giorgia Basch, creative Director of BilderAtlas.
