Photolunch<\/strong> is a more informal and convivial portfolio reading, a format designed to encourage direct encounters between photographers and professionals in the photography world.<\/p>\n

Each table brings together a photographer or professional and nine participants<\/strong> around a shared lunch. In this relaxed and dynamic context, a space for open dialogue is born: the artist (or professional) recounts their journey, work, and experience in an informal chat. Subsequently, the participants will be able to present their work<\/strong> and receive feedback through a shared portfolio reading<\/strong>, stimulating an open exchange of ideas, points of view, and suggestions.<\/p>\n

Photolunch<\/em> is therefore much more than just a lunch: it is a space for dialogue, inspiration, and networking<\/strong>, where professional discussion intertwines with conviviality, creating an ideal environment for growing projects and relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Arianna Arcara<\/strong> was born in Monza in 1984. After studying photography, she co-founded the photography collective Cesura, which focuses on documentary photography and its different approaches, and the publishing house Cesura Publish of which she is co-art director.
\nArianna Arcara’s artistic practice investigates the meaning and ever-changing form of \u201cboundaries\u201d, whether natural, urban, human, or cultural. The common goal of many of its long-term projects is to move along one of these boundaries through the development of collaborative processes. Arcara questions how – and if – her photography can impact the people and stories she follows, constantly reflecting and seeking new ways to engage and emancipate her subjects. Her works have been exhibited at Triennale\/Milan, Le Bal Space\/Paris, MoCP\/Chicago, Kulturhuset\/Stockholm, Deichtorhallen\/Hamburg, Noble Peace Center\/Oslo, Palazzo Reale\/Milan, Maxxi\/Rome, Camera\/Turin.<\/p>\n

Alex Majoli<\/strong> (Ravenna, Italy, 1971) is an Italian photographer.
\nAlex Majoli’s work focuses on the human condition and theatricality that arise to us on a daily basis.
\nAlex Majoli’s career began after photographing the closure of a well-known mental asylum on the island of Leros in Greece, this work becoming his first monograph \u201cLeros\u201d. This project was born from an interest in the theories of Franco Basaglia, a pioneer of modern thinking on the treatment of mental illnesses, famous for having succeeded in closing psychiatric hospitals in Italy.
\nMajoli’s interest in psychiatric care led him to continue his work in Brazil, where a project began that would last twenty years, entitled \u201cTudo Bom\u201d. This work is an exploration of complex Brazilian society and pays particular attention to the more \u2018dark\u2019 side of this country.
\nFor many years Majoli worked as a photojournalist, and the experience he gained in the field led him to explore the idea of the theatricality of life. His role as a photographer leads people to become actors of themselves, which Majoli tries to exasperate by dramatically using artificial lights. His photos become scenes from a film where people, through their performance, express their being as if they were on a stage. Looking at these photographs one can only think whether they are real moments or fiction. The fine line between reality and theatre, documentary and art, leads Majoli to return to places where the human condition is questioned. Even in the most tragic miseries Majoli manages to uncover the theatre, the pride and above all the magnificence of the human spirit.
\nMajoli lives in New York. He has been a member of Magnum photos since 2001 and is represented by the Howard Greenberg gallery.<\/p>\n
