On the Verge is the new exhibition that CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia offers in its Project Room from 4 November 2022 to 8 January 2023. A collective that investigates the great themes of our time, made up of over seventy works created by seven young photographers selected within the FUTURES Photography network of which CAMERA is the only Italian representative in a network of twenty European realities.

The exhibited projects by Cian Burke (Ireland, 1978), Mark Duffy (Ireland, 1981), Pauline Hisbacq (France, 1980), Julia Klewaniec (Poland, 1996), Alice Pallot (France, 1995), Daniel Szalai (Hungary, 1991 ), Ugo Woatzi (France, 1991) tell personal and collective stories about conflicts, struggles for gender equality, food and ecological sustainability, the rise of populism and nationalism on the European continent. At the same time, from an aesthetic and linguistic point of view, these works represent the most innovative and relevant experiences in the current European photographic panorama.

The exhibition is curated by Giangavino Pazzola, with the support of Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen and Marta Szymańska.

The European FUTURES program (EPP – European Photography Platform) is a research platform on contemporary photography supported by the European Union and focused on mapping and supporting emerging authors beyond national borders.
