Fotografia Europea turns 20 and celebrates this important milestone by dedicating the 2025 edition to a reflection on that precise period of life that most of all seems to open the doors wide to infinite possibilities.
In a person’s biography, 20 marks the shadow line, the end of innocence, and at the same time, the taste of freedom and independence. At 20, you can still become anything, but you discover you are alone, detached from the world and from your family heritage.
Being 20 is like sailing an ocean of possibilities without a precise map. It is an age of contradictions: you are an adult, but often still living at home with your parents; you are connected to the whole world, but the loneliness can be overwhelming.
