PHOTOGRAPHER VISUAL AND SOUND ARTIST
I am a visual and sound artist. I investigate the correlations between humans and landscape, as well as the various social, political, and environmental forms that these relationships take. Using methodologies that include both documentary and narrative sources, I combine fieldwork with archival research to redefine the apparent order of things into a new poetic and experiential relationship. My works are kept in museums and private and public collections, including Punto Fermo Collection Palinsesti, Craf, Photo Library Cultural Consortium of Monfalcone, Harry Bertoia gallery - Pordenone Museums, IKS Düsseldorf.
