Ci sono esperienze che cambiano lo sguardo: eventi espositivi, talks d’autore, rassegne, laboratori e molto altro.
Kromìa vi segnala appuntamenti preziosi per scoprire o riscoprire la fotografia in tutte le sue forme: artisti storici o nuove ricerche, inedite o consolidate prospettive critiche, spazi e iniziative per vivere sempre più la passione fotografica.
Perché più si vede, e più si impara a vedere – e soprattutto a godere – ciò che si vive.

Civilization. The Way We Live Now

TRAVELING EXHIBITION
From fep-photo.org:
“Civilization: The Way We Live Now is a major exhibition, featuring the work of 100 of the world’s finest photographers. It addresses and illuminates major aspects of our increasingly global 21st century civilization. It stresses the fact that contemporary civilization is an extremely complex collective enterprise. Never before in human history have so many people been so interconnected, and so dependent on one another. In science and art, at work and play, we increasingly live the collective life. The Olympic Games, the giant Airbus, CERN, MRI, the Trident Submarine, Wikipedia, the Academy Awards, the International Space Station, Viagra, the laptop computer and the smartphone… However we feel about any of them, none of these complex phenomena would have been possible without superlatively coordinated efforts involving highly educated, highly trained, highly motivated, highly connected people.
(…)
Major areas that are addressed in the exhibition:
- Where we live. The human ‘hive’: cities, towns, villages, housing structures.
2. Sustenance. How we maintain physical life. Food, drink, medicine, systems of supply and monitoring
3. Production. What we make. By hand, by machine. Technology.
4. Consumption. What we use, how we use it.
5. Movement. From A to B. Travel, transport. Air, sea, land, space, virtuality,
6. Communication. Of ideas and information. Disinformation: propaganda, advertising,
7. Learning. Expansion of knowledge, passing of torch from generation to generation.
8. Exploration. Pushing boundaries, whether on land, sea, and in space, or in the world of ideas and technologies.
9. Control. Maintaining order, of men and machines and of groups and societies. Political organization, social structures, bureaucracy. Reaction to natural disasters
10. Escapism. Diversion and release of tensions. Tourism, mass entertainment, celebrity, spectacle, professional sport.
11. Crisis. Breakdown of structures and values.
12. Aggression. Societal conflict. Crime, war.
13. Alienation. Individual loneliness and isolation.
14. Belief. Religion, morality, spirituality.
15. Hope. Societal improvement and solutions”.
