Antonio Rovaldi

He studied Art and Photography at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, where he graduated in 2000 under the guidance of the Japanese artist Hidetoshi Nagasawa and the photographer Mario Cresci. Since then, his artistic practice has investigated the perception of the landscape through the use of various media, such as photography, video, sculpture and sound installation. A recurring element in his research is the representation of distance, both physical and mental, between real and literary places, collective spaces and autobiographical memories. The relationship between physical exertion – through the practice of walking or covering long distances by bike – and his investigation of a specific territory is a constant feature in his artistic practice, which has always focused on the construction of a complex image, one which develops through the rhythm of a sequence and the slow time of sedimentation.
