The Belt è un progetto fotografico di Jacopo Benassi dedicato a Prato, città d'arte e rinomato polo dell'industria tessile. Enormi quantità di abiti buttati via arrivano a Prato da tutto il mondo per essere riciclati e riutilizzati come materia prima per nuovi capi. In un momento storico in cui la discussione pubblica e politica è quasi interamente incentrata sulla questione delle materie prime, sulla possibilità di non sprecare risorse, esiste un mondo che in maniera ininterrotta da almeno un secolo riesce a riportare completamente in vita enormi quantità di materiali che per il resto dell'umanità sono visti come scarto. Questo è il distretto del tessile di Prato: una filiera di piccole e grandi aziende che raccolgono tessuti dismessi da ogni parte del mondo e, attraverso procedimenti che mixano le più alte tecnologie e i saperi artigianali, riescono a farli tornare materiale di primissima qualità, richiesto dalle più importanti aziende del lusso. Questo è il mondo che ha raccontato Benassi grazie alle sue fotografie, creando uno speciale rapporto di vicinanza con il reale, con la materialità delle cose, con il corpo della realtà e il corpo delle persone.

The collection and treatment of traces which reveal who we are and what we do naturally piques our interest when it pertains to others, and anxiety when it concerns ourselves. Do we truly know what a trace is? And if knowledge is power, how vulnerable are we in the public sphere? The demonstrability of a trace hides the complexity of the process that allows it to be produced, interpreted and used. This book proposes a reasoned approach to the analysis of the trace as an object and as a sign. By following such an approach, the reader will understand how the media participates in the creation and deployment of traces, and the issues raised by what can be traced on social media. The Trace Factory offers a historical perspective, returning to the founding theories of collecting and producing traces linked to knowledge and power in society. Observing technology and information through the prism of these theories, a large number of devices and their uses are evaluated. This book offers itself as a tool of thought and work for researchers, professionals and social actors of all kinds who are confronted with the existence, treatment and interpretation of the traces of society and culture.
