About The Artwork
"LIMITED EDITION (single copy) Fine Art print, tattooed by hand over the print Stattoo is a photographic project of Mimmi Moretti which has sprung from a project already started in 2015 and which today is revisited with a different and in some ways more modern key of reading. It is a project dedicated to the Stadio dei Marmi (Marble Stadium) in Rome. Men who stand out, like ancient imperial heroes, against an intentionally greyed out sky, as if Zeus from up high were about to bring on thunder. The peculiar natural lighting lends to the statues a chiaroscuro found in Caravaggio paintings, and highlights all their powerful physicality and strength. The story that those statues tell today to those who observe these new images is a completely new one. In fact, not only are their powerful and vigorous bodies depictedin the photographs, but also the tattoos which have been drawn (over the print) onto those bodies, as if they were real bodies in flesh and blood, by the expert “hands” of some of the most renowned Milanese tattoo artists."

Mimmi Moretti, whose real name is Domenico, was born in Catania in 1966. A few months later the family moved to Paris. It was in the French capital that he was culturally informed and where he began, thanks to his uncle, to take pictures and familiarize himself with the dark room. At the age of 20 he started working as a freelance photographer, collaborating with a few magazines. He left college before graduating to work for a German multinational company. A few years later he left that to pursue his own entrepreneurial endeavors during the dot-com business boom. Towards the late 90s he returned to photography and began experimenting with the new digital photographic technology that was dawning and definitively made the transition to digital photography in 2002. It was in 2014 that he first displayed his photographs in a collective exhibit in London. He loves to range from varying subjects and themes, even if, at the moment, he prefers industrial architecture and societal subject matter. He is always attracted to technical experimentation and he is always, continuously developing different and original styles. His studies in Humanities have often influenced his main projects.
