What is a wall? Student photography exhibit (May 15-22)

From May 15-22, 2010: Mostra fotografica “i muri”

Walls have always been an unregulated area for communication, visible to all, on which people have written (in florence, sadly, perhaps too much). Now with internet, there are virtual walls that one has to have access to. Walls allow one to express anonymous, sometimes transgressive thoughts.

Walls can also be barriers that divide us, that divide cultures, races, create discrimination… There are more subtle walls of indifference and negativity. On the other hand there are security walls, walls within which we live happily, solidly.

Which walls are which? Students from the high school Cellini-Tornabuoni present a photography exhibit organized as a reflection on the fall of the Berlin wall at its 20th anniversary. These young people have thought through all these things and contributed this small exhibit as a reflection on walls in general. Without perfection, and with different photographic media, from the reflex to the snapshot camera to the cell phone, images sought with emotion.
