An exploration of sensitivity. Human and animal bond through Francesca Todde’s gaze @francescatodde The contact between humans and animals and the tracing of the possible evolutions of this relationship are central in the work of Italian photographer Francesca Todde. Her latest project and photobook A Sensitive Education plunges us into the everyday life of Tristan Plot, an educator of birds for theatrical performances and therapeutic purposes. A mysterious world where "nothing seems to happen," which sees observation of details and empathy as its keys; the same approach used by the photographer to tell a dialogue made of primordial codes, re-imagining a symbiosis and harmony with nature that seems to be lost today. Francesca Todde (Padova, 1981) is a visual artist and publisher based in Milan. Her research focuses on cultural issues related to nature and human relationships with animals. Her practice is not limited to photography but includes in the creative process the editorial aspect and the diffusion in printed form. She is co-founder of the publishing house Départ Pour l’Image, alongside Luca Reffo. Her first book A Sensitive Education, released in January 2020, was awarded the Ponchielli Prize for the best photographic book 2020/21, and received a special mention at the Marco Bastianelli Award for the best Italian photographic book 2020.
