Here's an article about my upcoming project in the Vatican Museum:
“Inside the Museums” project Conference
Director of Vatican Museums, Prof. Antonio Paolucci, and Curator of the XIX Century and Modern Art Collection, Dott.ssa Micol Forti, held a conference on the ground breaking project, the “Inside the Museums” photo-documentary. This is a new Patrons project regarding the commissioned production and aquisition of art photography for the Vatican Museums. Proposed and curated by Alessandra Mauro, who represents the Magnum Agency in Italy, the concept entails an artistic interpretation of the Museums by an international group of important artists photographers who will consider themes such as the physical space of the Museums and their rooms (Peter Bialobrezeski from Germany, and Italians Massimo Siragusa and Antonio Biasucci), their link to memory and history (Bill Armstrong from the USA and Mimmo Jodice from Naples), and also include the people who have worked there over time (Francesco Jodice and Martin Parr from the UK). The series begins with French artist Alain Fleicher who will follow visitors throughout the complex. The project represents a wide variety of artistic styles and approaches and will constitute the first important nucleus of contemporary photography for the Museums collection. This project is unique in Italy to the Vatican Museums and will be the very first photographic pieces in their collection.
