Ample space to photography in the first edition of Sienafestival, the new Festival of Performing Arts, which will take place from 22 September to 14 October collecting the experiences of Siena Contemporary Baroque Festival, Voices of source and TeatrInScatola, which for several years working in the local and national cultural scene.
There are a thousand ways to tell a lie and an 'image' this thing has always known. Photographing means first of all choose, cut in a while a portion of the world and bring in an unnatural way, for the attention of a variable number of individuals, and so the result of this selection, based on technical criteria, composition and especially taste and personal inclination, is far from being an objective truth. Photos for Fake (The truth of the lie) is the project from September 22 to October 14 will be presented at the Botanical Garden (opening 22 at 18) with two photographic exhibitions.
Francesco Minucci is the author of the first exhibition: "Today / Tomorrow", a photographic work that invites us to reflect on the fact that tomorrow we will be what we are thinking today.
What happens when the photograph shows and confirms the identity of a subject? What really happens after the photo shoot? How can photography provide evidence of the work of time the identity of anyone? What is true or false from what is happening today in front of the lens and the image of what might happen tomorrow? Today / Tomorrow (Today / Tomorrow) are two recurring words in our lives. Our today we built yesterday, but we are the builders of our future.
Born in 1974, Francesco Minucci attended in Florence "Fondazione Studio Marangoni," where he learned the darkroom techniques and fine art and graduated in photography still-life at CFP St. Columbanus (FI). His photographs, the result of painstaking research, they want to talk about our present as theatrical, with the desire to denounce and cause, creating a thin line between the real and the surreal. Of his works is a photographer as well as costume and set designer, personally supervised every detail, from the characters to the places that become actors and stages of his visions.
What happens when photography becomes a means for the autobiography? This is the subject of research of Alexander Pagni exposition "Subsidiary Selfish".
Subsidiary Selfish - the author writes, among the five winners of the photo contest national Confini09 - is the sense that both tried all those days gone brittle and biodegradable over time. An archive selfish for a personal historical memory, in which the world revolves around your eyes and count only what it tasted.
"Subsidiary" because it is a support tool for the retrospective understanding of his own life, and also because it reminds us of the books adopted by children in elementary school subjects to understand and learn concepts that will last into for years. "I've never managed to keep a diary in my life, I have no perseverance in things, are not regular. But it happened all the time in my life that I felt the need to collect crumbs, fleeting impressions, small question marks, images, objects, leaves and leaflets scandissero the tolling of hours and days. But in the chaos of my head and of my daily life, these relics had their own specific place. And after all this, my paste, attack, search, color, and then scan adding further, digitally, where needed, minor adjustments, is basically a children's game. A game that helps me to go back in time with different eyes and move me again, re-reading what happened in a key, for me, unpublished . "
In Piazza del Campo at the Salt Storehouse September 23 (at 18) open to the public "Cojimies" by Daniele Life and "Franco Fortini. Tales from China. Photographs of a trip (1955-1971) "by Daniela Blacks, Stefano Jacoviello and Study Centre Franco Fortini.
Daniele Life, Roman photographer specializing in reportage of social theater, winner of the 2008 Toscana Foto Festival, dedicates its exposure to Cojimies, a small fishing village until the 80s was one of the major shrimp producing countries of Ecuador. Arrived there by chance, Daniele Life is a series of meetings, beginning with the children, and gradually wins a relationship of trust with the local population. The friendship with the photographer Tingo opens the doors of the village, and provides access to homes, to the private sphere, the intimate part of life. This report earned Daniele Life invitation to participate in the UNICEF award POY 2011, with only twenty other photographers in the world.
A Franco Fortini, among the most active intellectuals of the Italian left of the second century, is dedicated to the exhibition "Franco Fortini. Tales from China. Photographs of a trip (1955-1971) "by Daniela Blacks, Stefano Jacoviello and Study Centre Franco Fortini.
Literary critic, poet, translator, in October 1995 Fortini went on an official visit to the Republic of China as the first member of the Italian delegation along with other intellectuals as Calamandrei, Cassola and Bobbio. From his travel will create a book, "Asia Major". The description of the distant land that was subject of Italian literature from its beginnings, as told by Marco Polo to the writings of Rustichello of Pisa or illustrated in the seventeenth century by the brilliant Jesuit Matteo Ricci, Fortini becomes the occasion for a real exploration is not meant so to confirm what little was known in China, but rather to discover the new basis of its future. Through photographic images, Fortini trying to make an anatomy of the Maoist revolution. Replaces the idea of R03;R03;a country populated by mystics and sages tolerant surrounded by objects nicely ineffable - << ambiguous jade and gardens of torture >> - with pictures showing the disused << appearances, courteous and slightly ironic men fermissimi and silent, of modest women and smiling >>, where you can find the integrity, devotion and intransigence necessary to accomplish the revolution that would have re-established a world in which "the joy of tomorrow was the condition of today."
Those images are now housed in Siena, at the Centro Studi Franco Fortini, built within the Faculty of Arts where Fortini taught since 1971, after his second trip to China. Sienafestival the showcases. The reportage on China Fortini is a story about the future that we are all we have to do the math.
