Attilio Scimone

Attilio Scimone was born in Riesi in 1951 in a small town in the Sicilian hinterland. He began photographing during his university studies at the Faculty of Architecture in Palermo. His first photographs were in the areas of architecture and landscape. During those years he took courses with philosopher Rosario Assunto on landscape aesthetics. These were fundamental years for his specific preparation in the aesthetic language of architecture and landscape, which in the years to follow he would devote to the complexity of that of Sicily.
In those years he frequents Sicilian art movements making several collaborations with artists in the field of experimentation. The series “Parcel Man” made with artist Salvatore Salamone is from 1974. One of the works “Liberation” from 1976 is part of the Collection of the Diocesan Museum Palazzo Arcivescovile, Palermo.
From the beginning he personally prints photographs exploring the aesthetic and creative possibility of photographic chemistry. He works on several projects using photography and black and white printing as an expressive element, thus beginning an artistic journey that will be a point of reference in the following decades.
In the 1980s he devoted himself to photography of landscape...
