GIACOMO BRUNO – ESSENTIAL LIVES

A new author is now online on our website! He is emerging photographer Giacomo Bruno with his project “Essential Lives,” a collection of images born during travels, as a direct result of his interest in photographic documentation of everything on this planet that is essential and that at an ever-increasing pace, mutates or is destined to disappear.
Each photographic journey undertaken focuses on man and his context, in its uniqueness and simplicity. Without pretension or presumption of wanting to tell about places and people as yet unknown or not yet photographed, the only ambition is to represent them in their beauty and extraordinariness, in their increasingly unstable and precarious balance between the roots of their own culture and the alienating flattening of the new, highlighting the particularities and singularities and restoring dignity and pride to the protagonists of the images.

Works submitted to the site will also be exhibited at SetUp Contemporary Art Fair 2017, the major international fair dedicated to contemporary art that will take place on January 27, 28 and 29 in Bologna, Italy.

In particular, the shot “The stilt fisherman” is a candidate for the Tiziano Campolmi Award, a prestigious competition dedicated to emerging artists. The 5 finalists will be the authors who have received the most “likes” on the award’s facebook page.
