G. Galimberti, all rights reserved.

Lydia Street Gallery is showcasing Gabriele Galimberti's first U.S. exhibition, featuring his series "Ameriguns" and "Toy Stories." The portraits in both series highlight people's love and pride in their collections, with "Ameriguns" exploring gun culture and the impact of inequality on children.

Commissioned by National Geographic, "Ameriguns" has gained international attention and is now being exhibited in Texas. Galimberti's photographs provide a documentation of the issue rather than a critique, and the respect he shows towards his subjects is evident. In the "Toy Stories" series, Galimberti captures children with their first possessions, highlighting the influence of caregivers, socioeconomic status, and culture. Children from rural and urban areas exhibit different levels of possessiveness towards their toys.

The exhibition will remain on display through May 12.
