Paolo Meoni
Biografia
He was born in Prato where he lives and works in the artistic sphere as a video maker and photographer. His first video is from 2001 and was presented at the La Corte Gallery in Florence. His research through video and installation considers the identity of an industrial landscape that changes over time thanks to new migrations, new work prospects and changing architecture. Consider the conurbation and shifts of nature in the territories of industry: so this new urban and human landscape that is configured in continuous modification reflects on his way of working and on the images he creates: an (impossible) attempt to grasp this instant of reality that lives directly on the territory. He continued his research in the photographic field, going to develop new ways of making photography, enjoying great success with the public and critics, becoming part of many private and museum collections.
