In the early 2000s the Fondazione MAST created a space dedicated to industrial and work-related photography, acquiring images from auction houses, private collectors, art galleries, photographers and artists.
Now the collection comprises over 6000 images and videos by well-known artists and masters of the lens, besides a vast selection of photograph albums containing thousands of images focusing on work and industry.
The images and videos represents a visual alphabet that goes from A “Abandoned” to W “Waste”, “Water” and “Wealth” (words with Z are rare in English), identifying the points and areas of interests that convey the true meaning of each image.
