Last update: Sept. 2024

Suburban melancholic, digital nihilist, full-time flâneur.
He mostly deals with moving images - both digital and analog - with a speculative and sculptural approach to their making. 
Thinks and works in/by/with fragments, loops, layers, endlessly edits, writes and draws sparsely.

His recent practice questions material and immaterial stakes of images, vision and visibility,
lingering on thresholds, edges and moments of failures.

Born and raised in Torino (IT), got lost in Paris (FR), was then seen in Venice (IT),
is said to currently live and work in Rotterdam (NL).

Actively engages in collective/curatorial/artist-run initiatives,
such as Nacht Moves (upcoming), VLAK - smallbuttall and Filmwerkplaats.
