THE SONY WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2023 EXHIBITION
IN MILAN, FROM 16 JUNE TO 3 SEPTEMBER
CARLO MARIA MARTINI DIOCESAN MUSEUM
Current events, the environment, geopolitics, migrations, the world of work, digital innovation, dreams and aspirations of the younger generations: these are the major themes featured in the largest photographic collection in the world, which once again gave birth to the Sony World Photography Awards this year.
Now in its sixteenth year, the Sony World Photography Awards are promoted by the World Photography Organization and Sony and include the Professional, Open Youth and Student awards. The Italian exhibition, created in collaboration with the Diocesan Museum of Milan, will be set up in the museum rooms from 16 June to 3 September 2023.
Before Milan, the winning works of the Sony World Photography Awards 2023, assigned last April during the International Ceremony in London, were exhibited at Somerset House in London.
Among the works on display in Milan you can admire “Our War” by the Portuguese Edgar Martins, overall winner of the title of Photographer of the Year with his very personal tribute to his friend and photojournalist Anton Hammerl, killed during the Libyan civil war of 2011.
Also on display is the work of Alessandro Cinque, winner of the Sustainability Prize, conceived in collaboration with the United Nations Foundation and Sony Pictures’ “Picture This” initiative to reward the stories, people and organizations who, with their actions, pursue one of the UNO Sustainable Development Goals.
Among the 160 works on display also those of the other Italian photographers who finished in second and third place in various categories of the Professional competition: Noemi Comi and Edoardo Delille and Giulia Piermartiri, 2nd and 3rd place for Creative Photography; Bruno Zanzottera and Fabio Bucciarelli, 2nd and 3rd place for Landscape; Andrea Fantini and Nicola Zolin, 2nd and 3rd place for Sport.
Studio Rufus would like to thank Barbara Silbe, journalist, co-founder and managing director of EyesOpen! Magazine for giving us the opportunity to collaborate in the realization of this exhibition.
Organization by Sony and curated by Barbara Silbe
