What if you walk the streets of Vatican and see double
When reading the news everything looks so dramatic and epic. ‘This time will be the hottest summer we’ll ever experience,’ or ‘That was the most incredible event of the last century.’ Most of the times, it feels wrong.
Take this story. We remember looking at Benedict XIV voluntarily leaving his mandate in 2013 to the next Pope, Francis, while both were still alive. We were also there hearing: ‘That has never happened before in the whole history.’ Was it? Not really. In 1294, Celestine V left after four months to Boniface VIII.
As far as we can state, history happened again. Is it true now? Indeed. For the second time, we’re witnessing two living popes on earth. This fact made us think about possible meanings of the double – more precisely pair – in photography. Photographer Chiara Spaghetti Kurtovic was in Rome, documenting people on their way to the Vatican City.
This is our story.
Born out of our love for streetwear and photography, we’re presenting our SS 2016 collaboration piece: Chiara Spaghetti Kurtovic x C41 Magazine x Dream Yourself, a high-quality Made in Italy limited edition t-shirt to talk about our Vatican editorial included into issue 2 ‘pair’.
