Emerging Collections - The experience of young Italian Photography

Young Italian Photography / Luigi Ghirri Award is dedicated to the discovery and promotion of emerging photographic talents in Italy. It focuses on an approach to photography devoted to artistic research, aimed at practitioners under 35 years of age. Now in its eleventh edition, the award presents a publication retracing its history and placing it into context through theoretical contributions that examine the theme of art archives and collections. It raises questions about the survival of collections and the life of archives in general, in addition to the formation of new collections through acquiring contemporary works. An overview of the award results since 2012 is also included.
