"Doubts," the new exhibition by Paolo Roversi, recently inaugurated by the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP), presents a retrospective of the artist's work through a large number of pieces—both previously unseen and classic.

The exhibition centers on the idea that doubt is key to imagining and creating. Through this ideal, the artist experiments with Polaroids, a new technique and creative outcome.

On June 19, 2026, the exhibition "Doubts" by Paolo Roversi opened at the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP) in A Coruña. This exhibition, which will run until September 20, 2026, offers a journey through the artist's work, showcasing both previously unseen images and classic pieces, thus highlighting his renowned career in fashion photography.

For Roversi, "Doubts" centers on the idea that doubts are what grant access to creativity and imagination, just as certainty closes them off. In this exhibition, we can observe not only his most characteristic works but also his experimentation with the use of Polaroid cameras.

Through the display of twelve interconnected fragments throughout the MOP Center, defined by different facets—theater, appearances, shadows, doubts, people, presence, grace, beauty, and vanishing—we witness Roversi's mastery of this art.

Paolo Roversi, born on September 25, 1947, in Ravenna, Italy, developed an early interest in photography. He began as a contributor to the Associated Press in 1970, covering Ezra Pound's funeral in Venice. That same year, he and his partner Giancarlo Gramantieri opened their first photography studio in Ravenna, the artist's hometown. After meeting Peter Knapp at an event, he was invited to Paris, where he worked as a reporter for the Huppert Agency, thus becoming involved in fashion photography.

It wasn't until his work with Marie Claire that his first major fashion story was published. A Christian Dior beauty campaign brought him wider recognition in 1980, the year he began using the 8 x 10” Polaroid format that would become his trademark. Through his curiosity, vision, and passion for photography, Paolo has become a global inspiration for photographers and the fashion world.

He regularly collaborates with American Vogue, Vogue Italia, W, Vanity Fair, Interview, and i-D. He has also photographed advertising campaigns for Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons, Dior, Cerruti, Giada, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, and Alberta Ferretti.
