Giorgio Salomon: The Reportage of a Lifetime
24.11.2023, 4:30 pm
Lab27 is hosting a special event on November 24 at 9:00 PM on the occasion of the final week of the exhibition In mezzo all’immensa steppa. The event features Trentino photojournalist Giorgio Salomon, who will share his 60 years of work recently collected in the publication Reportage di una vita (published by Antiga Edizioni). A photographer always one step ahead: with insatiable curiosity and a deep passion for the image, Giorgio Salomon has documented events in Italy and around the world with the precision of a reporter who captures an entire story in a single frame. His dramatic shots include the Vajont disaster, the 1966 flood, terrorist attacks in South Tyrol, the Red Brigades, and Berlin in 1965 amid a triumph of barbed wire, as well as contemporary tragedies such as migrations, wars, and natural disasters. With his camera, he has also shown remarkable insight into climate change, documenting the increasingly dry Po River, shrinking glaciers, and millions of trees uprooted by extreme weather events. Giorgio Salomon has focused on Italy and the world to tell the stories of countries, mountains, cultures, and peoples. He has also covered wars: in 1983, he produced a report on the Russo-Afghan war and the armed resistance of the Mujahiddin; in 1990, after being appointed special correspondent for Rai (TG1), he was kidnapped in Uganda by a revolutionary movement. Winner of numerous awards for his photographs and films, in 2003 he was honored with the Colombe d’Oro per la Pace journalism award by the Archivio del Disarmo.
