Seven Contrasto photographers documented the current state of the climate crisis in Italy, from its effects to the search for solutions.
Ilaria Magliocchetti Lombi presents a series of portraits of the protagonists of the green revolution, those who are finding solutions for adaptation or mitigation of the climate crisis.
"Seen from space, the Earth appears as a blue sphere: 71% of our planet is covered by water.
From droughts to floods, from rising sea levels to ocean acidification, water is at the center of most of the effects of climate change.
Water is also the “invisible” subject of these images. I have portrayed 15 people who, each in their own field and with their own means, are working to raise awareness and to combat climate change.
I chose to portray them as if they were observing our planet — our oceans.
I asked them: What future do you imagine?"
The exhibition was on view at the MAXXI Museum in Rome from November 2022 to January 2023.
