The curtain has risen European Photography 2024. From now until June 9thReggio Emilia returns to observe contemporary changes through the eyes of great photographers and young newcomers with the 19th edition of European photographythe festival promoted and organized by the Palazzo Magnani Foundation and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, with the contribution of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
Nature loves to hide is the theme chosen by the artistic direction of the Festival composed, again this year, of Tim Clark (editor of 1000 Words), Walter Guadagnini (historian of photography and Director of CAMERA – Italian Center for Photography) and Luce Lebart ( researcher and curator, Archive of Modern Conflict).
A title that tries to incorporate – recovering the paradox from a famous fragment of Heraclitus – the power of a nature that often hides its essence from our eyes, but which increasingly reveals it in destructive ways, in a continuous process that can be understood as an oscillation between being and becoming. European Photography 2024 aims to explore, through the many prestigious personal and collective exhibitions of this edition, the connections between concealment and discovery that dominate our relationship with Nature, imagining new narratives, outside of that dominant attitude of control that our species exercises on the planet, to understand the dynamics and new directions to take.
This XIX edition, composed of twenty-two exhibitions in nine locationsis characterized not only by the quality of the projects exhibited, but also by the level of the meetings, conferences, book presentations and educational activities that will be organized during the festival and which enhance the cultural liveliness that characterizes Reggio Emilia during European Photography.
Radio Monte Carlo is the official radio of European Photography 2024.
