Come una barca ricoperta Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Born in Pescara in 1981 to an Italian father and French mother. He spent his childhood between Moislains, a village in upper France and Italy, where he grew up inspired by his father, a painter. Lover of technology, he explores contemporary languages through an aesthetic approach of musical origin, preferring photographic and video mediums. His artistic production is strongly fuelled by stimuli that come from the reality in which he lives and by which he is influenced. Network media flows, urban elements and an observant nature are summarised in artistic inspiration and conceptual works. His passion for electronic music, distortion and glitch adapt to non secondary streams of consciousness, in a desire for differentiation that aspires to a transcended beauty. Researcher and sound designer, he initially played electronic and experimental music with popular influences in clubs and then at vernissages, being influenced by classical music and its obsessive repetitiveness that generates hypnotic and contemplative sound structures. He conceives music, images and video art as forms of opposition to a mechanical society which generates division and loneliness, putting in discussion the transhuman and the unexpected that it entails. Attracted by details and repetitions, he harmonises distortions typical of screens that fragment the gaze in search of a 'natural' beauty. This effect, in fact, does not represent an unexpected event to be eliminated but a timeless source of creation. During his creative process all the rules of communication are deliberately ignored, but the aesthetic investigation does not prevail over the effectiveness of the message. His distant and lucid vision wants to invite you to look away to return to 'See', along paths that lead in a different and intimate direction. Art therefore represents a dissociative starting point for moving humanity towards existence. www.giovannidonofrioleroy.com
