About

Pietro Pasolini was born in Brazil in 1992. After growing up in Rome he moved to London where he studied documentary photography at Saint Martins University. In 2016 Pasolini moved to New York to study at the International Center of Photography (ICP). While in the US, Pasolini's work underwent a considerable change, evolving into a careful reflection on the way we perceive and accept our surroundings. His practice questions the notion of reality as objective truth, presenting it instead as an “ever-changing vortex”. Impermanence and vulnerability, essential characteristics of life, become the focus of his work that, through the choice of precarious materials, is predisposed to be reinterpreted throughout time. Pasolini's works are born through a close cooperation between the artist and nature and it is the proximity with the impermanence of the natural world that gives some of his works an evolutionary ability.
He currently lives and works between Mexico City and Tuscany.

Pasolini through the use of classic materials from the photographic, painting and sculpture tradition has developed a practice that merges the bounders of these three disciplines and explores the essence of being a contemporary photographer today. His work is a visual ode to the beauty and fragility of our planet and intends to accredit the relationship between man and the environment as the most fundamental creative process. The artist tries to redefine our view of Nature presenting it as an entity of its own which is both subject and co- author of his practice. The Natural world becomes his Studio and the elements become the tools he utilise to produce his works, which ranges from colour images to brass and copper oxidations. Using non-traditional practices and innovative view points the artist has created a strong mythology around the evolutionary ability of some of his works.

His work has been exhibited in various institutions and galleries including The International Center of Photography, Galleria Valentina Bonomo, Superstudio Più and Gallery OneTwentyEight.
