Photographer showcases works inspired by China's 'cyberpunk city'
She occasionally accompanies and participates in student exchanges and works diligently to bridge art and education through her lens.
Using her unique photographic language, Givone captures the daily life of residents in Chongqing, including street vendors, children and elderly couples.
Photographs taken in other countries she has visited, including Brazil and Sri Lanka, were also featured in the six sections of her solo exhibition.
She expresses her wish to show that humanity's dreams and futures are deeply connected.
Zhang Xiaojing, head of The World and Chongqing magazine, says the exhibition serves as a bond between the peoples of the two countries, as well as a chance to experience the power of beauty and sharing.
"Givone introduces Chongqing to the world in a globalized language that combines storytelling and visual symbols," Zhang says.
As an Italian, Givone believes that Italians and Chinese people share deep connections.
"People from both countries value food, family and friends," she says. "Those three 'Fs' truly connect us."
Givone compares Chongqing to a global tapestry woven with threads of beauty, warmth and unity.
"I'll be back," she promises. "There's so much more to explore."
