Francesco Amorosino
Italy
Biography
Born in 1984, he lives in Rome, where he works as a photographer, visual artist, and educator. He runs his research space il FotoStudio, where he organises exhibitions and courses. In 2016, he won the Sony World Photography Awards in the still life category. In his work, he investigates the perception of reality through themes such as mystery, the supernatural, conspiracies, and mechanisms of power. He works both digitally, using still life photography in a metaphorical and sculptural way as well as digital collage, and analogically, experimenting with a variety of alternative techniques. Among his recent artistic projects is In Media Res, in which he prints some of his photographs onto fragments of marble in the darkroom, creating real photographic sculptures. His works have been exhibited in renowned galleries, and he has held solo exhibitions at venues such as the Italian Cultural Institute in Belgrade and the Grenze-Arsenali Fotografie festival in Verona.
