Mario Guerra is an Italian photographer, after having lived in New York, Paris and Lecce (Apulia), he lives today in Rome and Chamonix (France). His photographs upon materials are images that abstract themselves in small details of few millimeters, enlarged at the excess, where photography abdicate its representation role to become something else. Looking for the existing beauty in the minute reality that surrounds us. "An intimate, minimalistic look which explores the nature of the material in its purest and most essential aesthetics. Details almost invisible to the naked eye, like inner landscapes coming to life with shades, imperfections, imperceptible tracings and secrets: like those of the human mind." (Ludovico Pratesi – La Repubblica) Mario Guerra has begun his activity as a professional photographer. Since more than twenty years he's working for europeans enterprises and factories, advertising and communication agencies, focusing on industrial, corporate and portrait photography. He has took part at many campaigns and publications, among books and magazines, in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, UK, Spain, US.
