Andrea Ceriani opens photo show on architecture and the threshold in Varese

Andrea Ceriani’s exhibition Oltre il margine runs from Oct. 22 to Nov. 25, 2026 at the Erco Flagship Store in Varese. The show uses 12 photographs to explore the boundary between interior and exterior, with visits available by appointment on Thursdays and Fridays.

Why it matters: - The exhibition extends Erco Finestre’s effort to back collaborations with photographers who bring a personal vision to architecture and landscape. - The visit counts for 2 continuing education credits for members of the Ordine Architetti Varese. - The show positions architecture photography as a way to study perception, stillness and the line between built space and horizon.

What happened: - Andrea Ceriani. Oltre il margine is on view from Oct. 22 to Nov. 25, 2026 at the Erco Flagship Store in Varese. - The venue is at via Dandolo, corner of via Cavour. - The exhibition is open by appointment on Thursdays and Fridays, with booking through Calendly. - Silvia Monaco curated the show. - Silvia Monaco and Andrea Ceriani designed the installation. - Lorenzo Butti handled the graphic design. - Star Art Service SRL in Legnano, near Milan, produced the fine art photographic prints on Hahnemühle paper in a 40 x 53 mm format. - Redal 87 SNC in Meda, near Milan, built the installation. - The Ordine Architetti Varese sponsored the exhibition.

The details: - The exhibition is the second stop in a project promoted by Erco Finestre. - The project aims to feature authors who use photography to interpret architecture and landscape. - The show includes 12 photographs. - The images focus on what Andrea Ceriani calls the “threshold,” or the spatial relationship between what happens inside and what lies beyond the margin. - Architectural elements such as parapets, walls and windows define that boundary. - The sequence begins with a real window and a dynamic opening gesture that suggests an unseen interior. - Later images place architecture in the foreground, stop the gaze at a blind opening, or place an interior domestic scene inside reflections of the landscape on glass. - One image reduces architecture to a ruin that acts like a telescope toward the countryside under a milky sky. - The following works strip the foreground architecture down to a wall as a flat surface and a visual limit that separates near and far structures. - In the marine landscapes, built lines fade until they disappear, and the horizon dissolves into a nearly white surface where sky and sea merge. - The overall sequence moves from a solid foreground to an undefined horizon. - The exhibition closes with a sense of calm and the idea that silence can complete the space fixed on photographic paper. - Ceriani was born in 1989 and graduated in architecture from Politecnico di Milano. - During university, Ceriani developed a strong interest in drawing and architectural representation at different scales as tools for analysis and project communication. - Photography became Ceriani’s expressive language for seeking beauty in the balance of composition, light and scale. - Ceriani’s commissioned work for Italian and international architecture studios has appeared in Divisare, AD Italia, Elle Decor, ArchDaily and Area. - Ceriani has contributed to publications including Luigi Vermi Architetto del Novecento, Abitare il legno - Inhabiting wood and Sacri Monti e altre storie. Architettura come racconto. - Ceriani’s photographs were selected for competitions and exhibitions promoted by Photomaarc, Architizer, MAXXI in Rome and EPFL in Lausanne. - The exhibition opens and closes with two quotations chosen by Ceriani.

Between the lines: - The curatorial framing presents Ceriani as more than an architecture photographer who records interiors. - The show emphasizes a quieter, more interpretive eye that uses natural light, pale surfaces and misty skies to connect architecture with atmosphere. - The repeated focus on silence and distance suggests the exhibition is meant to slow the viewer down rather than deliver a straightforward documentary read. - The use of a store showroom as the exhibition site also reinforces the link between design, display and built space.

What's next: - Visitors can book Thursday and Friday appointments through Calendly during the run. - The show remains open through Nov. 25, 2026. - The exhibition may serve as a template for future stops in Erco Finestre’s wider project with photographic authors.

The bottom line: - Oltre il margine turns architecture photography into a study of edges, distance and silence, using 12 images to move from interior space to an almost abstract horizon.
