REVOLUTIONS. Rebellions, changes, utopias.

The new edition of Fotografia Europea is under the aegis of the “revolution of the gaze and vision”, one of the consequences that the birth of photography has determined. “REVOLUTIONS. Rebellions, changes, utopias “is the main theme of the thirteenth edition, curated by the Scientific Committee of the Palazzo Magnani Foundation – composed by Marzia Faietti, Marco Belpoliti, Vanni Codeluppi, Walter Guadagnini, Gerhard Wolf – under the Artistic Direction of Walter Guadagnini.

“The term revolution derives from the Latin revolution, which finds its root in the revolving verb. The common and widespread perception of the term is that, strictly linked to politics, of the violent rupture of a constituted order, in view of a radical change in the status quo.

These moments also bring with them the paradoxical aspect of the term revolution, understood as a moment that abruptly interrupts a process of change taking place […] and therefore has as immediate consequence a halt to evolution […] and not necessarily a progression. But the term revolution belongs to every field of human knowledge and action, to all those fundamental, epochal changes, whose traces persist well beyond the moment of their appearance. ”
