About

Pietro Bucciarelli is an Italian photographer born in 1998. His visual research is aimed at finding aesthetic answers full of different meanings. Sometimes explicit, sometimes the result of lies, fables, and dreams. Bucciarelli sees the person as a fragment of a much larger element (there are many natural elements that he tells).
With his work, Pietro introduces objects and landscapes, slightly shifting the perspective to generate an emotional response from the viewer. This work with feelings that emerge on the boundary between the familiar and unfamiliar spaces affects the viewer’s perception of distance from the narrative. Pietro documents the surroundings and creates stories that include symbolic elements in connection to the real, enriching the image with additional layers of meaning.
After a short period at Cesura as a studio assistant, he completed an artistic residency at Fabrica Communication Research Center from September 2020 to February 2021 and Benetton as photographer up to July 2022.
He currently lives and works in Italy, with the ability to move around the world.
