Photodump

Designed by Kaspar Hauser Photodump features three distinct contribution all based on image collection and made by young Italian authors who work within a very specific field but like to cross borders. Suddenly in the Digital by Davide Giorgetta and Valerio Nicoletti is a systematic research on interface incidents and their ability to break the digital medium supposed transparency and immediacy by bringing the medium itself to the fore. A Collection of Trophy Images by Valeria Mancinelli Chiara Nuzzi and Stefania Rispoli is an a-systematic research into contemporary trophy images conducted with a curatorial attitude by involving other people in the game. Paradise Parade by Marta Ravasi is an idiosyncratic research into amateur image production and pop culture silently and intimately compared to the tradition of painting. The reasons for a given choice are always transparent in the first project detectable in the second mostly mysterious and personal in the third.
