Malocchio

  • Photographer
    Miriam Mercurio, Italy
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

“Malocchio” is an analog series exploring the inherited ritual of removing the evil eye in Southern Italian culture. Through intimate gestures, domestic spaces, and symbolic elements, the work reflects on feminine transmission and quiet forms of protection. Film photography emphasizes the fragility of memory and belief, where superstition becomes both personal experience and cultural legacy.
