Mirko Credito

Multidisciplinary artist. Mirko Credito was born in Genoa. During his studies at art high school, he founded Studiomobile, an art group that is still active today, where he began his artistic experiments with video and photography. He attended the School of Applied Arts at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan and in 1994 he started his activity as a graphic designer at the same time as an artist. From 2011 to 2015, he taught Digital Design at the Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa. Continuously engaged in the field of video art and photography, he started a research on the use of food material as a means of expression. The series Fritture is an evolution of his previous work Maschere di patate (Masks of Potatoes), made by photographing decontextualised real crisps. The Fritture are technically treated according to a special technique: they are beaten and fried in boiling oil, then scanned with a high-definition device to produce large-format prints. Some of the objects in Fritture are a gun, a keyboard, a manga doll. The objects stand out against black backgrounds, like old icons, cropped, almost abstract, well disguised behind the gold that frying seems to imbue with gluttony and visual nausea.
