Vaste Programme Wins Young Italian Photography Competition
In Reggio Emilia, the eighth Concorso della Giovane Fotografia Italiana recognized Vaste Programme (comprising Giulia Vigna, born 1992; Leonardo Magrelli, born 1989; and Alessandro Tini, born 1988) with the top award for their project titled 'The long way home of Ivan Putnik, truck driver.' They crafted a fictional route through Siberia using screenshots from Google Maps. The jury, which included Ilaria Campioli, Daniele De Luigi, Diane Dufour, Arianna Rinaldo, and Carlo Sala, commended the piece for its seamless integration of reality and fiction. The competition showcased seven artists under 35, all responding to the theme 'RECONSTRUCTION.' Established in 2017, Vaste Programme seeks to investigate the reliability of images and industrial landscapes, with upcoming projects focusing on AI black boxes and generational experiences in Italy.
