While we raided supermarkets, improvising pizza chefs, bakers and skilled cooks, the Covid-19 pandemic during the lockdown certainly did not help the most vulnerable people to access enough food.
In response to this emergency, the Trussell Trust from April 27 to May 6, it started a fundraiser through the sale of photographic prints by important international artists.

Founded in 1997, the Trussell Trust supports ⅔ food banks across the UK. It will surprise us to know that over 14 million people in the UK live in poverty, including 4.5 million children.
With a network of over 1200 food bank centers nationwide, this British reality guarantees emergency food to the people who need it.

To continue supporting their communities, food banks are finding alternative ways to safely distribute emergency food during this period, but they desperately need additional financial support.
Here photography is able to literally save lives. Photographs that capture moments of everyday life and ordinary people; exactly the same that we meet on the street. With a donation of £ 100, therefore, we can contribute to improving the condition of others and bring into our homes a cross-section of real life told by the language of photography.

A collaboration can be said to be successful when the sum of the parties involved is greater than the mathematical result that one might expect. This is the case when 2 + 2 does not make 4, but far exceeds that rational and limited calculation to open up to infinite horizons. Horizons that a simple number could never contain.

The collaboration of the Trussell Trust with photographers, who put the critical situation we are experiencing into an image, did just that. It has gone beyond all the limits and all the boundaries that have locked us in our homes to go beyond this situation of imprisonment and help people in difficulty.

The sum reached following the donations is equal to £ 621,785 and this was possible thanks to the support and generosity of all the artists who made their shots available for the initiative and of course who purchased the photographic prints.
A statement from the Trussel Trust on how the funds will be allocated will be published next week, but in the meantime, let’s take a look at the photos that will help improve the lives of many people.

I would say that like any great photographic work, even these shots do not need to be explained because they speak for themselves. I see in these photographs all the contradiction of us humans. People capable of making their strangeness something normal, to be shown without embarrassment. People who never tire of testing themselves through their body and their weakness.
Photographs for the Trussell Trust celebrates that human being who is fragile and flawed, but who thanks to these will remain forever unique and special.
