Born in Trento (Italy) in 1972, lived in various places in Europe - for work and for choice - including Bologna, Marseille, Milan, Budapest, Brussels and a Greek island of the Dodecanese. Professor of Videomaking at NABA Academy in Milan and Videosculpure at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and in Bari. Since 2000 works within the collective ZimmerFrei, founded with sound designer Massimo Carozzi and artist Anna Rispoli and realized several documentary films, video installations, art exhibitions, performances and public art projects. Exploring the boundaries between public space and private territories.
ZimmerFrei portrays everyday situations of living and working, seeking for sudden and unstable epiphanies. ZimmerFrei’s recent works are dedicated to urban and rural contexts in transformation, observing temporary citadels and communities taking shape, fading away or transforming again. Most of the film works and art projects are created on site thanks to residence production grants (Belgium, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Greece and China) or with international co-production (Italy-France-Belgium).
Since 2011 the long term working cycles by ZimmerFrei have been produced with European funds, in the frame of InSitu Network (Temporary Cities: series of city portraits, 4 documentary films), Open Latitudes (Family Affair, live format with local participants in 8 European cities) and Atlas of Transitions – New geographies of a cross-cultural Europe (Saga, doc film in 4 episodes)
