POSSIBLE WORLDS

Now that virus containment restrictions are easing almost everywhere, much is said about the “world to come”. Can photography open our gaze to other worlds?

A compelling, in-depth photographic investigation about Transhumanism, a movement that aims to improve man’s mental and physical performance through the use of science and technology.

With rare wisdom and sensitivity, the author makes us perceive that he has shared his own loneliness with that of the subjects portrayed, in a union of hearts that beat furiously and together.

The Ivorian photographer has tried not only to tell the wounds of her country but also to mend them, metaphorically, through a meticulous and careful embroidery work on the photos she has taken and then printed on canvas. “Ça va aller” is the project that won her the eight edition of the prestigious Prix Pictet.

As it often happens when travelling, you start looking for something and end up finding something else. And in my case at some point it became unimportant to answer the initial question, to know if the Danes were really the happiest population in the world.

It is not just a photographic project, but the demonstration that change starts from the will of each individual, that sharing is a very powerful weapon. To fight prejudice against “unconventional love”, which is still considered illegal in many countries.

Photography for a better world: the tireless work of raising awareness, through exhibitions and publications, carried out by organizations such as the British “Hard Rain Project”. And the contribution of technology and satellite imagery.

Tons of plastic poured into the waters, a disaster that the two artists wanted to tell in an itinerary composed of allegorical conceptual constructions in order to generate new and necessary responsibilities.

A complex and fascinating work, in which the images transcend the content to search for the symbolic form which they evoke, leading the reader towards the experience of a deep and original reflection on the relationship between mankind, technology and nature.
