Fatma Bucak is the winner of the second edition of the Tosetti Value Award for photography


Fatma Bucak is the winner of the second edition of the Tosetti Value Award for photography supported by Tosetti Value - Il Family office. The award, based on the desire to investigate the relationship between art and economics, and to widen the perspective on the real world, is assigned to an artist whose photographic work explores and aims to understand the historical-social and economic situation of our globalised world.

The artist is presented by the gallery Peola Simondi of #torino.
The award has been assigned by an international jury composed of Walter Guadagnini, Director, CAMERA Centro italiano per la #fotografia, #torino, Daphne Vitali, Curator, EMST National Museum of #contemporaryart, Athens, Raed Yassin, artist and Giulia Tosetti. This is the motivation:

The prize goes to #fatmabucak an artist whose photographic, performative and video work deals with current sociopolitical issues and specifically she addresses conflicts in Turkey and border issues. Her strong and emblematic photographic images capture the ever present tensions and she reconsiders issues of history making, memory, testimony and identity.
