The best photographs, selected by an ad hoc jury, will be published in I-D Magazine and the winning image will be projected in a dedicated space of the MAXXI Museum.
Mustafa Sabbagh
Italo-palestinian, in 2013 Sky Arte HD elected him as one of the 8 most significant artists of the contemporary italian scene, he is even recognized as one of the 100 most influential photographers in the world.
Assistant of Richard Avedon, he quickly rose to attention for his use of a counter-aesthetic canon that it’s now recognised as his signature style, poised between reinterpretation of art history and haute couture. For Sabbagh the punctum is the skin, the veins, majestically freaky masks, the multi-dimensionality of black and light, a visionary styling he studies down to the most minute detail and sets against leaden backdrops, in the pursuit of an absolute subversion of dress codes and genres – motif that he has moved with self-assurance from slicks, to the white cube of the most important museums in the world.
