What We Already Think We Know | Young Italian Photography | EXHIBITION

This photography exhibition presents a selection of works from past winners of the Giovane Fotografia Italiana | Luigi Ghirri Award since the award was founded in 2018. The works are part of the collection of the same name housed at Panizzi Library (Photo Library) in Reggio Emilia. In the framework of Photo London Fair 2024, What We Already Think We Know will be displayed for the first time in the UK supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in London. The five selected projects are by Marina Caneve (Are They Rocks or Clouds?, 2018-2019), Iacopo Pasqui, (N, 2018-2021), Giulia Parlato (Diachronicles, 2019-2022), Giulia Mangione (The Fall, 2021-2022), and Vaste Programme (The Long Way Home of Ivan Putnik, Truck Driver, 2019-2020). In all of these works, the photographers explore the main themes of contemporaneity as well as the very nature of the medium itself. Thanks to an artistic and trans-media approach, the projects focus on the complex relationship with nature and the environment, the province, the young people who inhabit it, and the collective fears of society, and they include the use of archival materials.
