Paolo Ciregia
Born in Viareggio in 1987.
Heavily influenced by a documentation experience in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict between 2014 and 2015, Ciregia explores the dark side of human nature using different media such as photography, sculpture, installation and performance.
Relying on an approach that is as diagnostic as it is meticulous, with a particular sensitivity to the intrinsic characteristics of materials, he reworks and transfigures the real into an introspective experience.
His works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, including New York, London, Paris, Wales, Rome, Milan and Amsterdam. Exhibitions he has taken part in include EYES ON TOMORROW, Italian Cultural Institute, Mexico City (2021) Second Time, Ncontemporary Gallery, Milan. (2020) Everyday Life. Museo MART, Trento/Rovereto. (2019) Heavenly Creatures, Kunsthalle West Eurocenter, Lana.
