With GAME, the 2023 biennale of Foto/Industria is dedicated to the theme of the ‘game’.
Photography that documents industry and work, the basis of each edition of Foto/Industria, this year explores the production of objects and devices that fall within a vast and solid sector that has been able to reinvent itself over time to meet changes in taste and habits, and is always extremely receptive to technological innovation.

Fun, cheerful and crazy: the Berlin fairs of the years around 1900 provided entertainment. to the inhabitants of a rapidly expanding and industrialising city, offering a chance to escape from the reality of exhausting and often repetitive work. Heinrich Zille (1858-1929), well known as an illustrator and graphic artist, took his photographs in the heart of this whirlwind of attractions: the fairground rides glittering with lights and colours, the suspended rafters, the facades of the theatres plastered with posters, the rubbish, the carriages of the carnies outside the fairgrounds.
