Stefano Parrini - Land Market

Winner of “SI FEST” 2011 edition in Savignano sul Rubicone - Italy, Land Market by Stefano Parrini analyzes the now twisted relation between globalization and exploitation of natural resources by a series of tragic-ironic photographs inspired to land art. The fil rouge of photographer’s subtle critique is a common shopping cart placed in a natural environment like a symbolical installation of man’s constant cold presence.
Land Market originated in the photographic collective Synap(see) formed by 8 authors creating projects starting from common ideas.
The chosen Collective theme for its first year of activity is the Environment, meant as a territory in which the hand of man is always present.
The different visual approaches by the members, end up in motley works similar to threads weaving a unique canvas, defining a vision of the world which from time to time is documentary, critical, ironical and poetical.
