Chiamala Roma

Becchetti's gaze on the city, which suddenly changes face, lingers on details and particulars that make it unique, not only for its ancient and undoubted beauty: the personal and poetic vision of the places narrated, with irony and affection, passes from the transformations of the territory to the faces of its inhabitants. The common people who live there and the personalities who stay there for short or long periods, absorbing the climate and the sugge

DELIRIOUS MUSEUM – UN VIAGGIO DAL LOUVRE A LAS VEGAS

In the guise of the flâneur and a situationist, Calum Storrie embarks on an imaginary voyage of discovery of different cities and eras that see him explore a series of environments – public places, architecture, but also historical exhibitions and artworks – all of which are possible embodiments of the concept of the “delirious museum”. The quintessential elusive place, the Delirious Museum reinterprets or redefines the traditional model by means of a détournement that tak

They are public topics of conversation and debate. Supporters and opponents an

West of Here

All the images in this work are taken in Grand Theft Auto V —a video game set in Los Santos, an “open world” scenario that closely resembles Los Angeles and its surroundings. Turned into a virtual replica, the city looks familiar and recognizable, but at the same time, pieces are missing, distances are altered, dimensions changed. Instead of photographing directly “in-game”, all the images are originally taken by different players around the world, to fur

INDEX G

The Gini Index is a statistical measure of inequality, also used to measure residential segregation. The optimism associated with recent declines in racial segregation in U.S. metropolitan areas may be dampened by new evidence of racial and ethnic geographic balkanization at other levels of geography (places & suburbs). A new macro-segregation, where the locus of racial differentiation resides increasingly at higher scales of geography (e.g. between central cities, suburban areas and fringe are
