Ready for the shot
Historical photographs exhibition and video mapping
This exhibition focuses on movement, athletic gestures, strong emotions and ‘impossible’ feats, which are the perfect ingredients for photographers searching for that breathtaking shot. The result is a journey through the history of photography in Trentino, exploring the relationship between sport, technology, society and the environment, and how this is represented culturally.
Accompanying the exhibition is video mapping displayed on the MUSE skyline: a visual narrative traversing Trentino’s landscapes and sporting history, from its 19th-century origins to modern Olympic and Paralympic sports. It is a journey through places, gestures and bodies, that displays skill, strength, speed and endurance, celebrating the evolution of sport as an inclusive experience and a symbol of technological progress and social value. Sport is about well-being, community and the future, not just about goals.
This photo and video mapping exhibition anticipates the exhibition ‘Beyond the finish line. The science behind sport’, which takes place at MUSE from 1 February to 27 September 2026.
This exhibition forms part of the Combinazioni_caratteri sportivi project, which was conceived and is being promoted by the Department of Culture of the Autonomous Province of Trento. It is also part of the Milano Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad.
