The Carlo Laviosa Foundation and the municipality of the Comune di Livorno, in collaboration with the Fotoclub Nove, a FIAF 2283 affiliated association, present the 4th “Photography and the World of Work” competition. The 2021 edition is entitled “We will travel again: working in tourism between tradition and new forms of hospitality”, the theme being tourism and the activities of hospitality and innovative enterprises from cultural and green tourism to the many non-conformist offers of travel and hospitality. At the heart of the competition is a sector which, through a comprehensive and diverse range of offers, defines our cultural identity and is kept alive by millions of workers and thousands of businesses who find themselves in crisis today due to the pandemic.
Through the eyes of the competition participants, professional and amateur photographers alike, we are asking for a testimony of work in tourism, not excluding a vision of what the artists would not like to lose from the world of hospitality or some critical or ironic hint but which nonetheless focuses attention on the human capital essential to Italy’s immense productive capacity, in the shape of tourism. So that the power of an image might fix our memory and Art help us to understand that which escapes rational thinking and accompany us and support us in difficult times.
The photographers can enter the competition with single images or a visual narrative project consisting of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 photos.
The 2021 competition jury is coordinated by Simona Manfredini – Carlo Laviosa Foundation and Alessandro Paron – TST Art Gallery. Presiding will be Letizia Battaglia, internationally renowned photographer and honorary citizen of Livorno. The judges are:
- Federica Berzioli, Director of “Il Fotografo” magazine;
- Giacomo Bretzel, professional photographer;
- Maddalena Fossati, Director of Condé Nast Traveller;
- Giovanni Laviosa, President of the Carlo Laviosa Foundation;
- Simone Lenzi, Councilor for Culture at the Comune di Livorno;
