The PhotoVogue Festival, the first conscious fashion photography festival that focuses on the common ground between ethics and aesthetics, returns for its eighth edition. From March 6th to 9th, 2025, BASE Milano will host a series of exhibitions and talks analysing the interrelation between humans and Nature, and the relations of kinship we can create with animals, complemented by satellite events at the city’s finest galleries.
Synopsis
Vision is more than what we see—it is how we interpret, imagine, and reshape the world around us. In this compelling conversation, visionary photographer Elizaveta Porodina and Atmos co-founder and editor-in-chief Willow Defebaugh explore the intersection of art, emotion, and the environment, delving into how imagery can transcend reality and evoke profound shifts in consciousness.
Porodina’s dreamlike aesthetic, deeply rooted in surrealism and emotion, offers a glimpse into alternate realms where beauty, identity, and nature intertwine. As the world faces ecological and existential challenges, her work presents an invitation to reconsider our relationship with the planet—not through fear, but through wonder.
This discussion will touch on themes of artistic intuition, the role of photography in shaping environmental consciousness, and how visual storytelling can become a tool for transformation in an era of climate crisis.
