 The number of innocent civilians killed in Gaza has been growing since October 7.  

The neutrality of medical facilities and refugee camps has not been respected.

We know that all medical facilities in the country are on edge due to the huge influx of wounded civilians (largely relocated from other territories) and it’s reported that their emergency rooms and intensive care units are overloaded and unable to operate due to lack of supplies.

We have asked how the civilian population can be helped by supporting emergency medical assistance to the hospitals and associations that are operating ensuring absolute priority for civilian victims.  It is estimated that more than 100,000 people already receiving treatment can no longer receive care. 

We believe that the humanitarian emergency in the Gaza Strip is the most serious right now. Here already more than 400,000 people are left without water and basic services, an estimated 1.4 million people are displaced, more than 8,500 are dead (60% of whom are women and children) and nearly 10,000 are seriously injured without health care. 

For this reason, we have identified a number of medical facilities operating in the Gaza Strip that we would like to support as a priority over aid interventions: 

Medical aid for Palestinian MAP 

Al-Awda Hospital – MSF Doctors Without Borders 

Beit Lahia Indonesian Hospital 

Al Shifa Hospital 

These are emergency medical facilities that ensure absolute priority for civilian victims and medical staff who continue to work on the ground despite the fact that the risks are now very high. 

We have mobilized the world of photography to support the PRINTS FOR GAZA campaign with a new call to action that will unfold with these two concrete initiatives: 

1) donating an open edition image, purchasable online at a cost of 100 euros, 100% of the proceeds of which will be donated to support the identified health and humanitarian assistance network, excluding fine art printing and shipping costs. Images will be available for purchase online starting Nov. 8; 

2) creating photo portraits immediately post-produced and printed in A4 – A3 – A2 format on fine art paper at a cost of 120 euros. 50% of the proceeds will be donated by the campaign, the remaining part excluding fine art printing costs, will go to the photographer chosen for their portrait. 

The campaign will be active from Nov. 8 to Dec. 21 online and at the spaces at Via Tortona 31 (Spazio Crea), booking your slot online. The campaign launch event will be held in Milan at Casa degli Artisti 8/11 and in Rome at Conteporary Cluster on 18/11.

Synopsis:

These days, everyone’s shooting analog.
Whether it is a fashion house seeking out "new” creative or an amateur perusing eBay, analog film photography has piqued the interest (and search history) of people everywhere.
Is this resurgence a backlash against digital photography? Or simply put, is it a trend perpetuated by our desire for authenticity in an increasingly inauthentic world?
GRAIN is a documentary that explores the stories of those committed to using analog film in modern day photography.

PARATISSIMA - Time Capsule

I am excited to announce that the project Therapy is part of PARATISSIMA / NICE & FAIR Contemporary Visions

‘TIME CAPSULE’ (IN)FINITE MEASURE OF THINGS’ is a collective exhibitions edited by Francesca Calzà, Greta De Marchi, Martina Ghignatti which will take place from November 1st to 5th at Cavallerizza, Via Verdi 5, Turin (IT).

About the exhibitions:

Every shape, color, texture, scent and sound with which man constantly comes into contact tells a story that, sometimes, is worth preserving and remembering.
Kept in a box or trapped in the memory, objects, tangible and intangible memories are collected: accumulating thus becomes a mania of the individual who wishes to convey the testimony of himself or of the community.
The collection represents an attic of being filled with thoughts, concepts and feelings, to which the collector himself gives a second life: the things, once desired and now patiently collected, take the form of fossils, new archaeological finds to investigate, throwing in this way a bridge between past, present and future.
Moving through the space of a collection and immersing oneself within it leaves those who come into contact with it a slight sense of nostalgia, a sensation of both loss and discovery to which no one is immune. A light patina thus remains indelible on the skin despite the perpetual passage of time. All the jealously guarded objects, however banal and everyday they may appear to the eyes of the present, take on a crucial importance for the representation of a now lost moment and of a culture to be left as a legacy, returning a gaze not only towards the past, but also looking towards the future. The relics of a lost identity are translated into an atlas that narrates time, giving life to the common thread of a potentially infinite memory, where memories are trapped in a dimension of uncertainty, in an era that has neither time nor place.
Decoding the contemporary for the man of tomorrow will inevitably mean attributing purposes and functions to the objects found as if they were certainties, after all the truth accompanies history without ever embracing it. How will the men of the future interpret the present and its manifestations? Thus, time capsules will be found, the memories crammed inside them will be dug up as soon as possible by future generations, restoring an archeology of our present time.
Excavations will come to light where the finds appear to be placed without a connection, legacies of the past without the intention of passing on a memory, but with the aim of reliving and obsessively recalling the shadow of one's existence.
The obsessive accumulation is instinctively induced by the inevitable sense of despondency faced with the awareness of the fleeting nature of memories, as of existence, for the man who fears forgetting or being forgotten. Train tickets, restaurant receipts, receipts and greeting cards from a lifetime are kept with the risk that Man stops possessing objects and begins to be possessed by them, deluding himself into being able to expand an instant with the ambition of make it eternal. A question therefore arises: but in the end, what is really left?

DER GREIF - Arles

The Project THERAPY is part of Les Rencontres d'Arles Nuit de L'Année 15th Anniversary Screening

Join us in Arles for the opening week’s Nuit de L'Année screening which features photographic proposals projected in loops onto large screens at the abandoned industrial site of the former Étienne paper mill. Our projection will celebrate our 15th Anniversary and includes 275 international artists chosen from our extensive archive and our 15th Anniversary open call for the 15-minute long video slideshow, containing six chapters. The images will come together to form new narratives through their juxtaposition, reflecting on all that we have achieved with our community over the last 15 years.
