Finalist, Volatile Interests by Alessandro Pollio

Volatile Interests is a visual investigation born and developed during the first national lockdown in Milan, Italy. The still lifes, created by the combination of food or other everyday objects easily available at home, come to life on a bare kitchen countertop, a crucial and central element of the domestic environment. The ever-changing nature of light and the use of different perspectives, add a unique flavour to the compositions, which become key memories of the isolation and mementos of the forced quarantine.
