Il 2020 in foto: Jon Bronxl

Da Amsterdam fino alla Sicilia, passando da Treviso fino a Milano. Jon Bronxl conserva e immortala i ricordi di un anno assurdo.

_[Best of 2020](https://i-d.vice.com/it/topic/best-of-2020): un nome una garanzia. Dalla musica alla moda, passando per cinema e cultura, in questa rubrica di fine anno vogliamo ripercorrere i momenti e i personaggi che hanno catalizzato la nostra attenzione nel 2020, l&#x2019;anno più strano della storia._

[Jon Bronxl](https://www.instagram.com/jonbronxl/?hl=it) è un giovane fotografo nato ad Accra, in Ghana, ma che vive in Italia dall&#x2019;età di 3 anni. Da sempre appassionato di moda, fotografia e design, Jon è il fondatore di [The Good Neighborhood Collective](https://www.instagram.com/thegoodneighborhoodcollective/?hl=it)_,_ un collettivo che unisce artisti e creativi emergenti italiani di seconda generazione.

Questi incredibili hairstyle celebrano l'orgoglio afroamericano

<p><i>Hair Wars <span></span></i>è una sfilata creata per dare spazio alle incredibili creazioni degli hairstylist della comunità afroamericana di Detroit. Così incredibili che sono arrivate fino al MoMA PS1. Questa celebrazione di creatività e unicità ha luogo sin dal 1985, e nel corso degli anni si è ritagliata uno spazio sempre più rilevante all'interno della comunità nera di Detroit. Basta dare un'occhiata a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvXly6zWp_Q" target="_blank">a questo video d'archivio</a> per accorgersene: tra ragnatele e riproduzioni della Torre Eiffel ce n'è davvero per tutti i gusti.<br></p><p>E forse hairstyle nemmeno è la parola giusta per definirle. Sculture? Installazioni artistiche dalla brevissima durata? Probabilmente un termine preciso neanche esiste, perché si tratta di creazioni che vanno oltre la solita narrazione beauty legata a capelli e acconciature. Provateci voi, a raccontarle. Ovviamente dopo esservi goduti queste immagini.</p> <div class="article__media"> <picture class="article__image"> <source media="(max-width: 25em)"

Il suo sguardo fotografico è penetrante e immediato, proprio come lui. Scattando principalmente in pellicola, nel corso dell&#x2019;ultimo anno Jon ha collezionato ricordi dolcissimi e strazianti insieme, che parlano di viaggi, silenzi e amicizia.

Attendo il mio bagaglio nell&#x2019;aeroporto di Amsterdam.

Noto questa ragazza con questa acconciatura stupenda, non posso non scattarla. Ci troviamo entrambi ad un evento nello store di [Slam Jam](https://www.instagram.com/slamjammilano/?hl=it) a Milano.

Primo lockdown. Vado a portare a sviluppare i miei rullini, ma alzo la testa perché sento delle persone parlare. Parlano da finestra a finestra.

Darko, il cavallo incontrato sul set. Volevo un suo ricordo.

Cammino per Milano, zona Navigli. Avete presente quando alla gente non frega niente dell&#x2019;Amsa? Ecco. Vedo questo wc e non capisco cosa c&#x2019;è dentro. Un piccione. Morto.

Un giovane skater a Treviso. Mi vede e si fa ritrarre senza dire una parola.

Della mucche in pascolo in Sicilia. Sto lavorando su un set quando arriva un&#x2019;intera mandria scortata da uomini a cavallo e dai loro cani.

Sicilia. Una donna in piedi, mi piace la posa. Di sicuro un donna forte, che tiene d&#x2019;occhio tutti i membri della sua famiglia.

I tramonti chimici di Milano mi ricordano un po&#x2019; il fenomeno della _Blood Moon_.

Un bicchiere con della pelle di pesce che galleggia. Io che mi perdo nella mia immaginazione e scatto.

Giulia e il suo tatuaggio in russo. Mi disse anche il significato, ma l&#x2019;ho dimenticato.
