Best Reply Exhibition

Barbati Gallery presents Best Reply, Buck Ellison’s first solo exhibition in Italy. Working with photography, film, and collage, Ellison produces a deep network of inquiry into how whiteness and privilege are sustained and broadcast.

This exhibition presents a series of ten new photographs, alongside a five- photograph series from 2018. These tell a simple story: two brothers take friends to their family’s ski house, which they refer to as “the cabin.” Amid games, snowball fights, and puzzles, a subtle romance unfolds. The artist also plays a game here: is it possible to visually represent the act of not talking about money?
