about



matteo losurdo





Born in Milano in 1992, currently based in Venezia, Italy.


I hold an M.A. in architecture at Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis entitled The Space of the Spirit, that was developed in Jerusalem and based on the relationship between architectural space and spiritual need.


In my work I use the photographic medium to investigate the relationship between man and space, natural and anthropized, looking for the signs that human activity carves in the landscape, searching for hierophanies.


I often collaborate with my friend Matthieu Samadet, French photographer and video-maker, and with kublaiklan collective.
