Focus. My society and me wants to highlight the civil and social function of photography, an irreplaceable means of information from which to start to carry out more in-depth analyses. The photographer knows how to capture that unrepeatable moment which can become food for thought, arouse reactions, contrasts, incite the viewer to become aware of a situation, of a historical moment and perhaps trigger that desire to join a cause, to awaken conscience or even just to understand the message.
During the opening on October 5th, the artist Roywang (SIBO WANG) holder of the Guinness Book of Records in 2018 and 2021 for the largest light painting in the world, will propose a performance that will involve the public.
