Vice Versa

Stefano Cerio lives and works in Rome and Paris.
He began his career as a photographer at the age of 18, contributing to the Italian
weekly L’Espresso. Since 2001, his interest has gradually moved towards explorative
photography and video.
His work increasingly focuses on the theme of representation, exploring the boundary
line between vision, recounting the real and the spectator’s horizon of expectation, the
staging of a possible reality that might not be true but is at least plausible. In this sense,
projects such as Sintetico Italiano (Italian Synthetic), Souvenir, Aquapark, Night Ski,
are stages in a coherent artistic development which finds in the concept of memory, in
the “other” place as a catalyst for present desires and future memories, in the idea of
holiday and entertainment, that suspension of daily life which the author studies and
recounts in images.
His works are to be found in many public and private collections.
