Pazienza Rubata

portfolio winners call 'WHAT'S THE URGENCY?', 2021

The non-profit community urban garden immediately seemed to us to be the right place to talk about care: to restore the suffocating knowledge of our world to its original salvific function. We have chosen to act with the photographic medium in this scenario for five months, focusing on a vegetable garden that could channel with its semi-circular and valley conformation close to a peripheral "modern Colosseum" expressive virtues into the images with greater force. Garden is inhabited by people of various ages, coming from other cities, surrounding areas, or perhaps even from the opposite building. Some people would have liked that space to have a very different function. A parking lot, for example.  Agricultural activity in a peripheral city context thus exploits the current contrasting conditions inherent in these two realities. This is the main aspect we wanted to tell about this activity: the therapeutic force that working the land can release, beyond the pragmatic aspects of production. We believe that a healthy output is a direct consequence of a genuine acceptance of such original principles.
