THE BUZZ COLLECTION (2021)
The Buzz Collection (2021), Buzz (The Buzz Collection) is the most recent stage of the project: The Buzz Project’s latest stop, in which every image of the cities we explored for a decade comes together to build a larger and universal picture of the contemporary metropolis as we know it – or thought we knew.
The work is structured as a collection of ten thematic dossiers – to be drawn upon and re-mixed. Each one is dedicated to a specific issue regarding the contemporary urban ecosystem and its human dwellers: the urbanites and the urbanized, as they live, prosper or simply survive in a globalized urban habitat across the world, at a time of an unprecedented and ever-expanding planetary-scale urbanization.
“Buzz-Art” shows us that art, in its infinite forms and meanings, is always available to everyone; “Buzz-Dreamers” is a statement against inequality, hidden in plain sight in every corner of our cities, of our neighborhoods, our blocks; “Buzz-Green” reminds us how nature is part of our living and how modern society has become a burden to our planet; “Buzz-People” is about us, the human contingent, with our differences and similarities defining one global people.
And so on: “Buzz-Home,” “Buzz-Love,” “Buzz-Cityscapes,” “Buzz-Inside Out,” “Buzz-Youth,” “Buzz-Wonders.” Every dossier is ultimately an invitation to activate an otherwise dormant inner vision and open the eyes of consciousness on the powerful energy – if not the beauty – of everyday life, which can be pervasive even along the sidewalks of a metropolis’ concrete expanse.
