While since the dawn of time humans have relied on divine fate, science has recently made us realise how much our daily choices are defining our future world. Faced with the dilemma of losing our immediate comfort or our lasting well-being provided by our ecosystems, we could then wonder which path are we going to choose.
How can we improve our resilience ? Is it technology going to save us ? Should we go for growth or restraint ? Will we be able to achieve a form of transcendence with nature ? Combining personal narratives and landscape metamorphoses observations, this project investigates different ways to be resilient by addressing topics such as alternative ways of living, new technologies, emerging communities, eco-feminism, finite resources and biodiversity preservation. Through her analog large format camera lens, Cinzia Romanin invites to slow down, look around and reflect on our current and future decisions impacts.
Cinzia Romanin
Based in Brussels, Cinzia Romanin is a Belgo-Italian photographer graduated both in architecture (La Cambre, Brussels) and in photography (IUAV, Venice). Since, this specific background led her to regularly collaborates with schools, agencies, artists and collectives from these two fields in-between Belgium, France and Italy. Highly interested in human and territorial dimensions, Cinzia Romanin uses the visual medium as a democratic discipline to produce a reflection on the landscape, and its abstract and physical metamorphoses. Faced with current societal challenges, her glance immerses you in a sensitive and committed universe to reconsider architectural, environmental and social issues which could become fundamental for our future.
