Giorgia Fiorio.

Italian, July 23rd 1967 – Turin, independent artist-photographer. Founder in 2002 and artistic director till 2013 of the Reflexions Masterclass international seminar of contemporary photography; in 2009 Giorgia Fiorio’s book and exhibition The Gift were granted the UNESCO Patronage.

Starting from a black and white social-documentary tradition, the vision of GF develops over twenty-three years an interrogation around the human figure: the first ten years – 1990/1999 – the first long term project MEN develops a wide social research “on male closed communities in the Western society”. From 2000 to 2009 THE GIFT unfolds a vast quest around “the relation between the individual and the Sacred”. In the past three years GF enquiry widens toward a new dimension of the representation, over the fleeting condition between reality and appearance. In 2010 GF sketches the earliest conception of the project HUMANUM, presently under realisation. The project questions the first expressions of the human figure in the terms of perception of our time and, in the mechanic of an optic confrontation inducing the awareness of visually conscious experience, Humanum reconsiders the terms of relation to the cultural heritage of human statuary in the transmission of visual memory of knowledge.
