In this issue of Eyeshot Marco Savarese throws down a challenge to Charalampos Kydonakis, Rammy Narula, Ania Klosek, Jesse Marlow and Maciej Dakowicz: to talk about Flora and Fauna through street photography.

Nature and animals are undisputed protagonists in art, from Palaeolithic cave paintings up to Maurizio Cattelan’s avant-garde provocations. But how can street photography, which is intrusive, frenetic and eager for contemporaneity, talk about something that lives without being aware of the era it belongs to?

Can such an art, that lives thanks to the moment, represent timeless forms of life?

Yes, it can. And it does it with the same concise approach it uses to talk about large cities, fashion trends and events. 

The relationship between men and nature tips over in the five chapters edited by guest photographers who, in turn, select the photos coming from all over the world. Like in the Peanuts comic strips, here men are just a secondary plot that appears by chance and passing by.

Plants and animals live in the photographic moment without building any kind of relationship with humans’ time, but marking their own one through reflections and shadows, similarities and contrasts, lines and dimensions, by finding space where there isn’t any or by filling the void.

The lesson you learn from Flora and Fauna is the ability to adapt to a world that flows so fast and selfishly, that you forgot who was occupying it before us.
