The Cibus Off

For the first time at the Parma Exhibitions Fairs, two monumental works of almost 5 meters by sculptor Emanuele Giannelli will be present, positioned to welcome visitors. With arms folded and gazing upward, the Korfs stand hieratic and imperious in the act of scanning a faraway space, in search of their own vision and future.

“Welcome to Yesterday” by Alexander Yegorov is the work that won the third edition of the “Irinox Save The Food” Award at MIA Photo Fair, the most important Italian photography fair, presented by Vice President Katia Da Ros, a member of the jury along with Claudio Composti, curator of the exhibition, and Edda Fahrenhorst. A shot with a strong symbolic power capable of expressing through food multiple meanings such as peace, life, death, hope and the future, while also raising awareness about food waste. A special mention was also given to Simone Matti‘s “Poca roba” for its ability to address the issue of food waste and emphasize the importance of each individual’s daily behavior in limiting this problem. Both photographs express the essence of the award supported by IRINOX SpA – a Benefit Company that values photography as an art able to tell the story of food in its many variables and social economic, cultural implications.
