PHOTOWALK: Furiosa
We need to take pictures because photographers need to pick up the camera, order the elements, make adjustments with extraordinary numbers, and feel that sensation of the other, which has no owner and is unique. After all, what goes into the frame is your decision and what is left out, too.
We must take pictures because that (healthy) obsession must be fed and satiated.
Imperator Furiosa is a fictional character in the Australian post-apocalyptic action film series Mad Max. Introduced in Mad Max: Fury Road and portrayed by Charlize Theron, she serves as an officer in Immortan Joe's army but turns against him in order to free "The Five Wives", Joe's "breeders"

Why furiosa?
A scrap metal recycling yard transforms into a dystopian tableau: towering piles of twisted steel, rusted gears, and shattered machinery create surreal textures and patterns. Stark beams of sunlight cut through clouds of dust, highlighting jagged edges and industrial decay. Amidst the chaos, echoes of a forgotten past beg to be photographed.

A photowalk is a curated space-time for a group of photographers to develop a photographic work in a determined time and area. It is free drawing but with technical, aesthetic, and conceptual orientation as required by the students. We do them in places you might never go or places that, because they are so obvious, you would not consider them either; in the end, it all depends on the edge with which we approach that momentum. Back at the school, we downloaded the photos and generated an enriching constructive criticism session, where all students participated, moderated by the instructor.
What you see here is part of the result of that process.
