Mostra fotografica "Mirella - Una storia di Alzheimer e di amore" - World Press Photo 2013, 1st Daily Life - Fausto Podavini

"Mirella, è un progetto iniziato nel 2006, anche se in realtà inizierà più volte, fino a trovare la sua giusta collocazione: Mirella è un lavoro sull’Alzheimer ma non solo, perché non racconta la sola malattia ma dentro c’è un pò tutto. La speranza e la rassegnazione, la morte e la vita ma soprattutto la dedizione e l’amore di una donna che ha assistito per ben sei anni suo marito, Luigi, affetto da demenza senile." (Fausto Podavini)

La mostra è organizzata dall'Associazione Culturale PHOTO GALLERY con il sostegno organizzativo del comune di Tremestieri Etneo (CT).

Dal 9 APRILE al 15 MAGGIO 2016 avrete modo di ammirare le stampe fine art di un progetto fotografico di forte intensità e carica emotiva, a cui è stato assegnato il primo posto del World Press Photo 2013 sezione Daily Life.

"Reflections of the Past" by the photographer Tom Hussey

Photographer Tom Hussey’s Reflections series is an emotional one, tying together the prime years of the elderly subjects’ past to their present lives. It is a beautiful yet melancholic take on the conceptual reality of natural life. The series, a winner at the 2010 Communication Arts Photography Annual, was used for Novartist’s marketing campaign for the Exelon Patch, a therapy patch used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Putting the campaign and medication aside, however, the composition of Hussey’s photographs is equally moving and impressive. He captures moments of the elderly models completing their daily, mundane tasks while their past reflection, as attractive young men and women, stare back at them through the mirror, reminding them of the fruitful and successful lives they once had ahead of them.

Hussey’s photographs, which can be viewed in this album, are the kind of emotion-evoking photographs that quickly captivate an audience and in turn, allow the telling of powerful stories.
