Photography

My relationship with photography is tied to a question that I still don’t want to answer: do I have to produce other images? Over the years in photography I have searched for the beautiful, the right, the sensible, even if most of the times each of my visual experiments had more to do with material produced by others than by myself. My images, supported by collective performances, ended up being a kit for something that looks like a thematic carousel to take a ride. Like the famous Caterpillar-Apple, which talks about the journey of a caterpillar inside an apple. You can accompany it on its path by being part of the caterpillar yourself (being able to sit inside). In the same way my performances deal with various kinds of issues and offer the viewer the opportunity to take a tour by taking part in the performance itself.

References (art, literature, music, other)

My main references are the history of Italian photography, a place to which I feel I belong more than others, an important dose of Italian private television, issues related to artificial intelligence and Rancière. Lately virtual reality, TikTok, Amici Di Maria De Filippi and The Economist.

Research methodology

I always start from an interest in a theme that over time settles down until I find a catalyst element that “lights up” it definitively. While this interest settles, it feeds on fortuitous readings (essays and luminous signs), new experiences, loves and experiments. The catalyst element is an artistic commission, a ban or an epiphanic call such as “is there a doctor in the room?”

Contaminations

I think I have been contaminated from head to toe and by multiple and disparate influences.
