URBAN unveils the City and its secrets Vol. 10 contains works of the best photographers at URBAN Photo Awards 2024. The aim of this editorial project dedicated to street photography is to provide the reader with an overview of stories told through images. These images have in common an element which is either obvious or just hardly visible, and all together they make up an organic collage that reveals the City and its secrets.

Maria Pansini's project Sea, Steel, and Sorrow captures the complex and tragic relationship between industrialization and human life. Her work delves deeply into the identity of Taranto, revealing both the city's historical grandeur and the deep scars left by industry. This documentary serves as a crucial reminder of the need for balance between development and nature, resonating far beyond Taranto itself.

Nadia Marmondi’s project “Divenire” evokes an inner journey that transports us into the realm of human emotions and natural elements. Water and rocks symbolize metaphors of change, transforming thoughts into abstract places. Her photographic language transforms color into a non-color, becoming the primary element of the narrative.
