Tiziana Amico, winner near. prize 2024, at Verzasca Foto Festival

30/08/2024, Verzasca

The jury of this year’s near. prize is happy to announce the winner of the
edition – Tiziana Amico! Her work will be exhibited at the Verzasca Foto
Festival 2024. Come and join us in beautiful Ticino for the opening days August
30 – 31.

Jury statement:
In the project “Nunca Fui Adolescente” (’I Never Was A Teenager’), Amico
explores the personal stories of Argentine women who became mothers before
adulthood, challenging stigmatized representations of adolescent motherhood,
highlighting their resilience and individuality through intimate portrayals
created in a collaboration with these young women.

The jury was convinced both by the choice of the author’s subject and the visual
decisions taken in the project. The strong visual storytelling is combined with
a very personal, almost gentle, approach of Amico to the experiences of these
women and the desire to give them a voice and understand their perspective.
Through a conscious use of portraiture mixed with images of private writings and
symbolic objects, Tiziana Amico manages to create a memorable and powerful, yet
very tender visual narrative.
