Moving between countries and movements, the project maps a shared urgency shaped by parallel crises and collective resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWorking in a rigorous, restrained documentary style edged with constant tension, Italian photographic duo Michele Borzoni and Rocco Rorandelli continue their critical investigative practice to reveal the discipline, ingenuity and choreography behind climate justice movements including Extinction Rebellion, Ende Gelände, Code Rouge, Last Generation and Soulèvements de la Terre. Against a backdrop of escalating climate catastrophe – alongside mounting institutional hostility and social apathy – \u003cem\u003eSilent Springs\u003c\/em\u003e documents these groups as they build road blockades, occupy campuses, enter coal mines and establish makeshift camps in defence of a shared horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePresented as a contemporary manifesto, Borzoni and Rorandelli combine photographs tracing the stages of action, from planning and encampment through police confrontation and dispersal, with a glossary that breaks down the language, tactics and ethical frameworks of climate action to reveal how resistance is sustained and justified from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBorrowing its title from Rachel Carson’s seminal 1962 book, but reframed in the plural, \u003cem\u003eSilent Springs\u003c\/em\u003e captures the scale of mass mobilisation alongside the lived reality of those involved to explore the hopes, relationships and informal ecosystems that bind these young activists together. What emerges is a record of young people choosing to stand their ground with their bodies and their voices, insisting on a future that institutions persistently fail to safeguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul class=\"ul1 detail-list\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e208pp, 127 colour and 81 monochrome plates, 210 x 295 mm,\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eSection-sewn OTA bound silkscreened softcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eDesigned by Tommaso Tanini\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Sarah Chaplin Espenon, Lewis Chaplin, Tommaso Tanini, Michele Borzoni \u0026amp; Rocco Rorandelli \u003cbr\u003ePublished by Loose Joints\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eLJ224, July 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eISBN 978-1-912719-77-8\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Loose Joints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555823161401,"sku":"210000004595","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/michele-rocco-shots-1080x1080.png?v=1790280628","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/michele-borzoni-rocco-rorandelli-silent-springs","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
