This is the most ambitious and comprehensive exhibition of the work of William Klein (1926–2022), one of the most influential photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. Through around 200 works – street photography, fashion, cinema, editorial production – and taking us to major cities such as New York, Paris, Rome, Moscow and Tokyo, the exhibition privileges the performative dimension of the American photographer, highlighting the unique way in which he interacted with his models and subjects. "The Whole World Is a Stage" is organized into five sections: Looking Back, Material Gestures, Tokyo, Films and Together.

An artist with fierce independence, despite working in the center of the commercial world , he never stopped dedicating himself to the artistic projects that he was passionate about. The exhibition brings together a wide selection of images (almost 150 works), which accompany the texts of the curator, David Campany, including an extensive essay and a brief chronology of the artist's life and work.
