A unique location, over 30 artists from all over the world, workshops and presentations this is the instant photography festival. ISO6OO 2O23 So it is (if you like) With the words of Pirandello, instant photography takes the stage, the unknowability of reality, of which everyone can give their own interpretation which may not coincide with that of the others. Thus a relativism of forms, conventions and exteriority is generated, an impossibility of knowing the absolute truth which is well represented by the very idea of instant photography. Whether absolute "beauty" exists or not is irrelevant: this is the final message of reading the exhibition, where the curator puts the viewer in front of a sort of "barrier on the stage", forcing him to question the very meaning of this he has just seen and about the very absence of meaning. Ninth edition of ISO600, theatrical and irreverent, the curtain rises and the authors enter the scene, these are their stories told in photography. ISO600 returns, in the by now familiar location of the Paoletti Photographic Gallery, as a theatrical performance where instant photography is staged.
