Fotografia Europea is an international photography festival held in Reggio Emilia (Italy) since 2006.
On the occasion of the year of the Milan Expo, which provokes reflection upon the planet, from local areas to food, from roots to energy and a great many related topics, Fotografia Europea raises questions about the relationship of photography with these, not only with respect to its representational and documentary functions but also in terms of the ambition of originality, innovation and peculiar nature. It is also true, however, that tools, methods and iconographic representations have changed dramatically in recent decades and, with them, so have the ways of the imagining and reflecting on things. Speed, connectivity and ‘liquidity’ increasingly run counter to the rhythms, relations and solidity conveyed by the earth.
