Running until 28th July 2024, Metamorphosis: Innovation in Eco Photography & Film at Saatchi Gallery is an exhibition showcasing the work of four award-winning photographers and filmmakers who are breaking ground in their practices of eco-conscious photography and film.

Almudena Romero, Edd Carr, Hannah Fletcher and Scott Hunter were each selected on the strength of their innovative and unconventional approaches and early critical acclaim as emerging artists.   

Metamorphosis: Innovation in Eco Photography & Film elevates Pasqua Wines’ longstanding commitment to provide international platforms for the arts. Since 2018, the company has invested approximately 5.1 million euros in collaborations with artists and arts patronage programmes. To date, the winery has realised over 20 collaborations with creators and multi-media artists such as the site-specific art installation Onirica (), with art studio fuse*, in which an AI-created experiential dream map was revealed to coincide with Vinitaly wine fair last month, and then gifted to the city of Verona as part of its Sips of Art programme.

Pasqua Wines’ engagement with Metamorphosis reflects the inherent creativity and innovation of the brand which, ahead of its centennial year in 2025, was awarded the coveted “Innovator of the Year” Award by Wine Enthusiast Magazine for a series of remarkable evolutions in the wine industry. The award recognized Pasqua’s longstanding investment in experimentation and as a “laboratory of research” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine and is the result of three generations of stewardship by the Pasqua family.

Riccardo Pasqua, CEO, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Saatchi Gallery to prompt this show, underscoring our cross-generational commitment to innovation, creativity and unconventional approaches. Each of the four emerging “eco-artists” participating in Metamorphosis demonstrate what we have always believed to be true – that through experimentation and pushing boundaries we can unlock progress.

“This international collaboration builds on Pasqua’s strong heritage of arts patronage, its commitment to making art accessible to the public and its unique belief that innovation is born from a profound, appreciative knowledge of history and tradition. We believe that creativity needs to be cultivated with love and care, just like the land.
