The photographer has indeed found great inspiration in the capital of Qatar and its avant-garde architectures, designed by international renowned names such as Jean Nouvel, Rem Koolhaas, Arata Isozaki and Ieoh Ming Pei.<br \/>\u201cThe exhibition is part of the celebrations for the Italian Contemporary Art Day, promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Italian Association of Contemporary Art Museums\u201d, highlighted Ambassador Alessandro Prunas. \u201cWe are particularly proud of having Francesca Pompei\u2019s works here: they create a clear connection between Italy and Qatar, as they show Doha\u2019s iconic architectural sights from the eyes of an Italian artist\u201d, he concluded.<br \/>\u201cWhat is most amazing is the grandeur of these hypermodern buildings which stand out from a silent and solitary perspective in a space between the known city and the other side\u201d, said Pompei. She describes Doha as \u201can enigmatic landscape which, evoking a metaphysical dimension, invites to a journey through a fairy fascination like The Thousand and One Nights\u201d.<br \/>\u201cSharada\u201d will be open to the public from 9th December 2021 to 12th January 2022 during Qatar National Library\u2019s opening hours.
