About event
The IAC has existed for 40 years. And I felt that it was an excellent reason to make known so much of what he did in these years for the children, but also an opportunity to bring more people and their hands to this cause and to put more eyes looking at the IAC and the children. That's why I created this photographic project: a project where the children wanted to join hands with those who are so used to showing their faces and can lend such a valuable hand to this cause.
So many of us are familiar with with the faces that come to us on television and in the press, but we don't know the hands of these people: the hands that write a law or the lyrics of a song; who grab a football to score a direct free kick; who hold a script for days on end; who press a button that defines the winner of a contest; who hold their children on their laps; who hold their parents' hands, as if they don't want to let go. The hands that IAC children need to feel and hold, while their gaze supports them, outside the camera's focus.
