Fragile, the exhibition title of the twentieth edition of SIFest 2001, which will be held at Savignano sul Rubicone from the 9th to the 11th of September 2011, suggests a starting point from which to begin to investigate the contemporary trends that affect the environment and man. The human landscape, loosely interpreted, nowadays appears to elude the individual, while its diverse manifestations describe unexpected critical thresholds and unforeseeable variations. The widespread sense of fragility which unites the experiments of the various artists invited thus summarises the complexity of contemporary living in a single word. The works of more than twenty renowned photographers are shown at the exhibitions and published in the SIFest catalogue: Guido Guidi’s photographic verifications, Miroslav Tichý’s original work, presented here in the form of a tribute to the Czech photographer who died this year, the fragile, suspended moments of Michael Wolf’s Tokyo compression, the inevitable march of progress that will transform the city of Sochi in the next few years in preparation for the 2014 Olympic Games, examined in Rob Hornstra and Arnold van Bruggen’s slow journalism project, and nature’s attempt to return to an original harmony in Taj Forer’s Stone by stone, are just some of the visual narrations which revolve around the theme of fragility in the book.
