Giorgio is a photographer and video artist based in Dakar.
Interested in emotions, feelings and interactions that are difficult to capture directly, Giorgio captures the humanity that exists everywhere, transforming the oblivious into a celebration of the obvious. His works are inspired by his experiences on the ground working with refugees and human displacement for over ten years and the connections he made with people and places. Each image tells a story about the journey and people he meets on his path, making his work a collection of shared personal histories.
In taking such an approach his desire is to speak through his work, thereby letting photography speak for itself. Through his socially engaged projects he is committed to deliver an authentic, intimate portrait – capturing moments that make us want to know more – the unsaid, unspoken words between two lovers, the glance of knowing, the look of fear, the everything in between.
His works inhabit academic, public, and online spaces. His hope is that his art will help people reflect on their own human experiences and encourage them to share their humanity with others.
