ANNUAL REPORT 1974-2013

A non-conventional portrait photographer; that works only on commission, mainly for manufacturing industry or rock record covers.
Staging his portraits, making screen stars of the anonymous staff who work in production, sales, organisation, research, secretarial work… right up to management level.
He remains true to his working class origins which he glorifies in his work. The liberties he takes with the white collar classes are astonishing.

Location

SPAZIO CARBONESI
via dei Carbonesi, 11
Bologna

This space is located inside Palazzo Zambeccari, a three-story building with a Neoclassical terracotta facade that was built in 1775 by the architect Carlo Bianconi. The piano nobile or main floor has maintained its Baroque frescoes, including an Olympus by Giuseppe Rolli and Giacomo Alboresi. Spazio Carbonesi is a space for meeting and sharing ideas made available to cultural organizations, an ideal setting for experimentation, exploration, and innovation that is used for arts-based initiatives, courses, or lectures.
