All things laid dormant Benedetta Casagrande

Winner of the 2024 edition of the Giovane Fotografia Italiana prize named after Luigi Ghirri, a central figure in the international panorama of photography of the second half of the 20th century, Benedetta Casagrande (Milan, Italy, 1993) is a writer, curator and photographer who, through movements of proximity and distance, presence and absence, uses the medium of photography to connect with the surrounding environment and its elements. The exhibition consists of a series of encounters with the non-human living world and explores the ways in which we enter into relationship with other animals, intraspecific coexistence and the possibility of constructing new forms of kinship and intimacy between species in a context of unprecedented loss of variety of living organisms.
