FUTURES Talk with Giangavino Pazzola Curator at Camera-Italian Center for Photography

Sign upMore info

Join us for a talk with Giangavino Pazzola, Curator at Camera-Italian Center for Photography. He will present his research on New Documentary Strategies, developed during his  residency in Amsterdam in July.

"Over the last decade, in Italy several experts have interpreted emerging practices in the Italian context as experiences close to the notions of post and metaphotography. However, there has been little attention given to more recent and innovative studies such as Speculative Documentary (Bellinck & van Dienderen, 2019) or New Documentary Strategies (Hamilton, 2021), both active in Northern Europe. These approaches emphasize the aesthetic, political, social, and technological specificities of the medium. The research investigates the photographic production of Italian authors active after 2004 (the year the Flickr website was launched, and art historian Hal Foster published An Archival Impulse) like Lorenzo Vitturi, Arianna Arcara, Federico Clavarino, Marina Caneve, Salvatore Vitale, Silvia Rosi, Karim El Makthafi and more to trace their roots and continuities with previous generations, and to position them within an updated and international critical horizon."

FUTURES x Magnum Artist Spotlight: Lia Darjes

FUTURES & Magnum Photos invite you to join us for our next online Artist Spotlight with Lia Darjes.

‍

For this talk, Lia Darjes will present her project Plates I-XXXI, published by Chose Commune in 2024.

The enigmatic guests at Lia Darjes’ banquet seem straight out of a fairy tale. Plates I-XXXI is a silent series in vivid colours that unveils the magic of an unexpected reality.

Squirrels, tits, slugs, field mice, ants, sparrows: these are some of the small animals that become the protagonists of Lia Darjes’ mysterious tale. Far from frightening, they captivate and charm with their furtive spirit.

Plates I-XXXI is a silent, colourful series that lifts the veil to reveal that unexpected visitors and magical parallel worlds are closer than we think. Lia will being her talk by discussing the start of her career, explaining how she transitioned from photojournalism to documentary photography, a journey that ultimately led to the creation of Plates I-XXXI.

About FUTURES x Magnum Artist Spotlight:
Every other month, we invite a photographer from the FUTURES platform to join us for an engaging online conversation about their artistic journey. Thanks to the online format, these talks are accessible to audiences around the world, offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from emerging artists about their work, motivations, and creative processes.

This series also aims to inspire the next generation of photographers by connecting them with practitioners who are still in the early stages of their careers—offering valuable insights and inspiration for others navigating similar paths.
