Giovanni Scotti

Graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, he attended then the Master in Photography & Visual Design at NABA in Milan. He works with different media including photography, installation, performance and video. His artistic research talks about de-qualification of public buildings and properties and the their necessity to become again experienced and valued by the citizens; the Counterspace as a place of transition between inhabited and un-inhabited space; the systems of power and their subtle and ambiguous language and the development of a narrative between reality and fantasy. Scotti's works are often accompanied by ironic and ambivalent words and expressions, which aim to deconstruct the common views, leaving different interpretative ways open. He collaborated as a draftsman, illustrator and photographer in recording and publishing projects. The artist's work has also been published in several national and international magazines, including The Mammoth Reflex, Artribune, l'Espresso, Sette, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, la Repubblica and WIRED.
