PHYSICS PHOTOWALK 2018: THE ITALIAN WINNERS

The first phase of the Global Physics Photowalk is now closed. The photo contest tallows hundreds of professional and amateur photographers all over the world to freely explore, for one day, a large physics laboratory and photograph the physics behind the scenes. The most important physics laboratories of the planet joined the 2018 edition and between May and June they opened their doors to photographers laboratories in China, United States, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, France and Australia. The first phase of the competition includes the selection of the best photos of each workshop, which then participate in the global competition and will be evaluated by a jury of international experts. Among these there are also 12 photographs taken in the four INFN National Laboratories, chosen by the jury of the Italian photowalk, made up of a scientist, Pia Astone of the INFN section of the “Sapienza” University of Rome, by a journalist, Gianluca Dotti, collaborator of Wired and by a photographer, Luca Locatelli, collaborator of National Geographic Magazine and of many international newspapers. “Shooting behind the scenes of technology and science is a difficult but exciting challenge – commented Luca Locatelli – For me it represents a way of looking at the future, of telling about those communities and places where humanity is producing sustainable innovations and preparing the tools, which will change the world, as has already happened in the past. ” This is the gallery of the 12 winning photos of the Italian selection, which will then participate in the international selection whose winners will be announced in the fall. The first two classified photos will be published in the next issue of Asimmetrie
