(Cesena, Italy, 1978) lives in Barcelona. He is an artist with a background in ethno-anthropology. He operates at the intersection between art and anthropology, investigating complex contexts of more or less closed structures. His practice looks into the ways individuals, or groups of, manage their own movement, on a daily basis, through strongly defined systems which tend to objectify them and even induce forms of self restraint. Reflecting on unpredictable methods of daily resistance sparked by a combination of simplicity and ingenuity, he focus on contexts that are considered marginal or exceptional but, in reality, anticipate more common scenarios. He alternate his artistic and anthropological research with academic profession. He teaches in the BA of graphic design and visual communication at the ISIA Urbino (Italy). Form 2006 is member of CoMoDo (Communicates Multiply Duties) social design cooperative, from 2015 is member of A/A Network (Art and Anthropology Network) and from 2018 is also collaborating with GREDITS (Design and Social Transformation Research Group of BAU).
