URBAN unveils the City and its secrets Street photography is the form of art that best describes the present. The term “street” refers to a generic place marked by human activity, and in this volume we have chosen to focus in particular on the City, as a place where the many aspects of our time converge. The City, its streets, its buildings, its spaces, bring with them ample evidence of history, “high” and popular culture, social interactions and contradictions. Street photography reproduces moments of absolute reality, to which each photographer gives his own artistic mark. Street photography is a genre capable of revealing the infinite aspects of the urban fabric and the lives that populate it. Often these visual instants tell more about what they show: new aspects of society, moments of lived life, secret corners of the city, contrasts and contradictions of modernity, celebrations of beauty or stories of urban degradation. The technique of street photography is almost entirely based on the eye, on the timing and personal sensitivity of the author, that allow him to be there, in the right place, at the right time, to create the shot that renders that fleeting fragment of everyday life. The street photographer highlights the unnoticed, makes normality special and unique. Street photography freezes in an endless instant moments of absolute reality, unique, unrepeatable and marked by the scratch also unique and unrepeatable artist. Small daily stories condensed into a fraction of a second can tell an entire historical period. Shots sometimes rich in pathos, sometimes apparently banal but full of cues for reflection. The aim of this editorial project dedicated to street photography is to offer the reader a series of micro-stories narrated through images. The images, authentic and immediate, are united by an element, sometimes evident, sometimes barely mentioned. All together they create an organic collage that reveals the City and its secrets. The photos that make up these stories have been selected from the ranking of URBAN 2019, a photographic contest which every year has thousands of photos in the competition and hundreds of participants from all over the world. The photographers in this book use their sensitivity to get closer to the protagonists of everyday life.

URBAN svela la Città e i suoi segreti La street photography - o fotografia di strada - è la forma d’arte che racconta al meglio la contemporaneità. Il termine “street” indica un luogo generico segnato dall’attività umana, e in questo volume si è scelto di soffermarsi in particolare sulla Città, in quanto luogo in cui convergono gli innumerevoli aspetti dell’oggi. La Città, le sue strade, i suoi edifici, i suoi spazi, portano con loro ampie testimonianze di storia, cultura “alta” e popolare, interazioni sociali e contraddizioni. La fotografia di strada riproduce attimi di assoluta realtà, ai quali ogni fotografo imprime una propria cifra artistica. La street photography è un genere in grado di rivelare le infinite sfaccettature del tessuto urbano e le vite che lo popolano. Spesso questi istanti visivi raccontano più di ciò che mostrano: aspetti inediti della società, attimi di vita vissuta, angoli segreti della Città, contrasti e contraddizioni della modernità, celebrazioni della bellezza o narrazioni del degrado urbano. La tecnica della street poggia quasi interamente sull’occhio, sul tempismo e la sensibilità personale dell’autore, che gli permettono di essere lì, nel posto giusto, al momento giusto, per comporre l’inquadratura che restituisce quel fugace frammento di quotidianità. Il fotografo di strada mette in risalto l’inosservato, rende speciale e unica la normalità. La fotografia di strada congela in un istante senza fine attimi di assoluta realtà, unici, irripetibili e contrassegnati dal graffio anch’esso unico e irripetibile dell’artista. Piccole storie quotidiane condensate in una frazione di secondo possono raccontare un intero periodo storico. Scatti talvolta ricchi di pathos, talvolta in apparenza banali ma ricchi di spunti di riflessione. L’obiettivo che si pone questo progetto editoriale dedicato alla street photography è quello di offrire al lettore una serie di micro-storie narrate attraverso le immagini. Le immagini, autentiche e immediate, sono accomunate da un elemento, a volte evidente, altre appena accennato. Tutte assieme danno vita a un collage organico che svela la Città e suoi segreti. Le foto che compongono queste storie sono state selezionate dalla classifica di URBAN 2019, concorso fotografico internazionale che vede ogni anno migliaia di foto in gara e centinaia di partecipanti da tutto il mondo. I fotografi presenti in questo libro utilizzano la loro sensibilità per avvicinarsi ai protagonisti della vita di ogni giorno.
