Location: VARIE

The “More than Meets the Eye” exhibition collects the extraordinary projects of graduates of the 2024/2025 annual Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography course, directed by Riccardo Bononi and born from the collaboration and experience of Irfoss Aps and IMP Festival.

Each project focused on a different aspect of contemporaneity, explored by the authors through a year-long fieldwork of visual investigation: from life of the
“invisible” of our society, to the long-term effects of climate change, from the reflection on the change in the local economy to the more intimate and personal
reinterpretation of family dynamics and places of memory, from the spaces of daily resistance to the damage caused by pollution in Italy, the photographers have become precious witnesses of our time.

Each project was selected and curated by an international and truly exceptional teaching staff, composed of Darcy Padilla, Greg Marinovich, Rosy Santella,
Massimo Sciacca, Giulia Nausicaa Bianchi, Maysa Moroni, Riccardo Bononi, Stefano Collizzolli, Tony Gentile, Niccolò Filippo Rosso, Mattia Vacca, Maria Francesca Lui, Marco Lumini, Jean Marc Caimi, Valentina Piccinni, Giulia Iacolutti, Fulvio Bugani, Fausto Podavini, Diego Orlando, Andrea Signori, Valentino Bellini, David Stuart, Svetlana Bachevanova.

The projects exhibited were completed in April 2025 and are absolutely new, exclusively for IMP Festival 2025.
