The world we created
The aim of this project is twofold. On the one hand, a denunciation of the profound changes caused by man: climate change, the unlimited exploitation of natural resources, the uncontrolled production of harmful products, drugs and waste, which are the source of conflicts, social inequalities, pollution and death.
On the other hand a reflection on AI, so powerful that it blurs the line between true and false. The risk is that one of the "possible truths" replaces facts: how will we orient in the world of information and trust it? How will we arouse empathy or indignation towards what we see?
My name is Giuseppe Santangeli (1970, Italy). I am a father, an engineer and a photography enthusiast. I am not a pro, but I have been exploring photography for over twenty years. I prefer performing arts, reportage and black and white, but I always try to challenge myself in different ways.
Awards I have been recently awarded with honorable mentions at the reFocus World Photography Awards, the London Photography Awards in the “special - diptychs” and “travel” categories, and the Monovisions Awards in the “photojournalism” category. In 2022 I was awarded 2nd place at the Monochrome Awards in the “photojournalism” category, and got an honorable mention at the Annual Photography Awards in the “fine art” category.
I received national recognitions and exhibited at the prize “the shape of the sacred today” in Milan Design Week, with maestro Oliviero Toscani. My work has been featured in Photo Project Pro “Shots to tell” and “Spoleto Calling” (2021), among others.
