Mario Cresci

Graphic art and photography are two languages and two records of the vision and depiction of the world that run through the arts, visual communication, publishing and every other form of expression in which images sit between the real and the virtual, as embodied by paper and the screen respectively. In these new dimensions of thought and of the search for the meaning of images with endless prospects and endless virtual spaces in which everything can be imagined, it is crucial to find the thread of our personal vision in the reality that we inhabit and share with others.

Conclusions

Mario Cresci has been producing eclectic works characterised by a freedom of research that embraces drawing, photography, video experience, installations and site-specific works since the 1960s. He was one of the first of his generation in Italy to apply project culture and to combine it with experimentation in visual language, bending the photographic medium to mean the very opposite of its function as confirmation of the truth of reality. Several of his photographs, along with those of Luigi Ghirri, have been part of the MoMa collection in New York since 1974, while others are to be found in the collections of various museums, institutes and research centres.
