Our new feature, Granitsa, is now online. On our website you will find all the images and a brief introduction to the work.
Granitsa focuses on the Russian community of Ida-Viru, a small region of Estonia that hosts the biggest russophone minority of European Union. This little area shares its eastern border with Russia. A very peculiar one, indeed, since it parts far more than two sovereign States: crossing the border (granitsa, in Russian language) means to leave behind both European Union and NATO, of which Estonia is among the most loyal and committed members.

Our new feature, ON TWO RIVERS, is now online. On our website you will find all the images and a brief introduction to the work, showing our view on the city of Belgrade.
Fifteen years after the NATO bombing and the removal of President Slobodan Milosevic, Belgrade still has to experience a true radical change. Despite an active arts scene, disillusionment remains the most common feeling in the capital and only a few seem to support a memory replacement in favor of a massive privatization and speculative overbuilding.

On the 9th of June we will present our project The Great Illusion at Spazio AUT, Prato. Our feature about fracking and shale gas explorations in Europe will be introduced by Professor Maria Grazia Pazienza from Università degli Studi of Florence.

We are excited to announce that one of the images from our feature The Great Illusion is among the 111 finalists for the prestigious CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year 2015 award. The images will go on show at the Royal Geographical Society in London from 22 June to 10 July 2015. The works will then commence a tour of british forest venues, supported by the Forestry Commission England, beginning at Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre, Cumbria from 18 July – 7 September 2015.

Today seven pictures from our project Standing Still have been acquired from Art Hotel Museo of Prato and the room 402 will bear the name of our collective, SooS Chronicles.

Art Hotel Museo is the biggest hotel in Prato and was born under the sign of art. It is property of Luigi Pecci Centre of Modern Art and it is located next to it.

Filippo Bardazzi, member of SooS Chronicles, is among the 4 selected photographers of the Call for Proposal Fotografia nel Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco Emiliano. He will produce an original body of work in the next months under the supervision of Andrea Botto and Daniele De Luigi, the curators of the project.
