Cortona On The Move – fotografia in viaggio
July 18 to Sept 29 2013
Director Antonio Carloni
Artistic Director Arianna Rinaldo
The third edition takes us even deeper into the theme of a Journey and all that the word signifies, unveiling the many faces of contemporary human experience in the fascinating locations of Cortona.
Along the narrow lanes of the Tuscan hilltown, in the old mediaeval hospital or in the 15th C. De Medici fortress, the photographic ‘journeys’ are able to inspire compassion, amusement, drama or dreams. In the silence of these old buildings the only voice to be heard is that of the photographers, travellers par excellence, telling their tales of far-off lands through profound glimpses of life. When selecting the exhibitions for this edition, Arianna Rinaldo, artistic director of the festival, is guided by three key principles: research, talent and modernity.
Participation and sharing are the primary strengths of the 2013 festival. Apart from its photography exhibitions, Associazione Culturale ONTHEMOVE wanted to enrich the event with ideas, proposals and interaction with tourists, visitors and spectators using the medium of crowd-photography.
