Description
Mario PALMIERI (20th–21st centuries). “Two hotel floors, 2007, circa Nakatsu, Kyūshū”. Photograph (chromogenic print (silver-based colour print) mounted on Diasec)
120 cm x 95.5 cm.
This work is part of the series “Exploration of the Eastern Archipelago”, with an edition of 5 prints plus 1 artist’s proof. Here is how the artist describes it:
This work was created during my numerous visits to Japan between 2002 and 2009. Over the course of those years, I was able to travel extensively across the archipelago’s four main islands — Honshū, Kyūshū, Shikoku and Hokkaidō. This project was funded by a group of patrons who collect my photographs.
The images were taken using a 20x25 large-format view camera,
on colour negative film; short films were also made at the same time
as the photographs, in Super 8 and on video.
This work has been exhibited in Paris, Brussels and Breda (Netherlands).
Biography:
Mario Palmieri was born in Calabria, in southern Italy.
He studied drawing at the Maurice-Quentin de la Tour School,
in preparation for entry to the Beaux-Arts in Amiens,
before passing the entrance examination and graduating from CERIS (Centre
for Image and Sound Studies and Research), directed
by Henry Coste in Paris, where he studied for two years.
Since the late 1990s, he has collaborated with a number of magazines:
Vogue, Numéro, Harper’s Bazaar, DA, Citizen K, Libération, M le Monde…
For these magazines, he has produced numerous portraits
of figures from the worlds of art, fashion, cinema,
architecture, politics… as well as feature articles
on contemporary architecture, design and
urban landscapes around the world…
He uses a 4x5 view camera and colour negatives to
produce images for these publications.
Alongside his work producing images for the press, he developed
a personal body of work focused primarily on the environment
resulting from the presence and activity of Homo sapiens
on the Earth’s surface and the associated consequences.
Miscellaneous:
— Winner of the Fondation Henri-Vincenot Prize, 1993, for a series
of images of vernacular architecture in the Dijon region
— Léonard-de-Vinci Prize, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1994,
