ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Michele Stanzione’s exhibition practice develops through an ongoing investigation into identity, memory, spirituality and the relationship between the visible and the invisible.
From photographic projects to international biennials, his work moves between the intimate dimension of the human figure and broader questions concerning nature, culture and contemporary society.
Photography becomes a language of memory.
