“Laid Bare” – EXPOSED Torino Photo Festival 2026
On the occasion of the third edition of EXPOSED Torino Photo Festival, BRH+ has designed the festival’s visual identity, exhibition design, and environmental graphics for the 2026 edition. Curated and produced by CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia under the artistic direction of Walter Guadagnini, the festival transforms Turin into a citywide platform dedicated to contemporary photography, engaging cultural institutions, public spaces, and urban architecture through a program of exhibitions, talks, and events.
For the 2026 edition, titled Mettersi a nudo (Laid Bare), the festival explores the relationship between identity, representation, and public space, creating a journey through images, bodies, and contemporary visual languages. Within this framework, BRH+ has developed a unified visual and spatial system that connects the festival’s 18 exhibitions across the city through a coherent, essential, and instantly recognizable design language.
The project emerges from a direct engagement with the festival’s distributed nature and from the ambition to create an identity capable of orienting, connecting, and bringing together diverse venues, content, and audiences.
At the core of the project is the idea of a placeholder structure that accompanies all of the festival’s communication materials: a simple graphic element inspired by the working frames of editorial layout, reinterpreted as both an identity marker and a curatorial device. A discreet yet continuous presence, designed to accommodate images, text, and wayfinding without competing with the content itself.
For the exhibition design, BRH+ developed a modular, freestanding display system conceived to respond to the festival’s temporary and distributed character. Inspired by industrial components, the structures are reinterpreted through essential black surfaces and deliberately exposed technical details, transforming functional elements into an integral part of the project’s visual language.
The structures become a shared infrastructure spanning diverse venues and architectural contexts, creating continuity across the exhibition sites while bringing coherence to the heterogeneity of the spaces through a single recognizable presence. Lighting also becomes an integral part of the design system, seamlessly incorporated into the exhibition modules to shape a coherent and carefully calibrated visual landscape.
The project reflects the studio’s multidisciplinary approach, in which architecture, exhibition design, and graphic design converge into a single design gesture. Through a synthesis of space, image, and communication, BRH+ has created for EXPOSED an identity capable of unifying orientation, storytelling, and urban presence.
