Stefano Cerio asserts photography's ability to render manifest the invisible, what is usually hidden from the eye—not, as the modernist tradition embodied by the "new vision" would have it, by exploiting the particular characteristics of the camera, nor, according to the lesson of photojournalism, by showing a surprising aspect of daily life, but by searching those parts of the world that only a specific and determinate photographic intentionality can bring to light. The work of Stefano Cerio fits into one of the most significant and distinctive areas in Italian photography.

About the Author


Stefano Cerio lives and works in Rome and Paris.
He began his career as a photographer at the age of 18, contributing to the Italian
weekly L’Espresso. Since 2001, his interest has gradually moved towards explorative
photography and video.
His work increasingly focuses on the theme of representation, exploring the boundary
line between vision, recounting the real and the spectator’s horizon of expectation, the
staging of a possible reality that might not be true but is at least plausible. In this sense,
projects such as Sintetico Italiano (Italian Synthetic), Souvenir, Aquapark, Night Ski,
are stages in a coherent artistic development which finds in the concept of memory, in
the “other” place as a catalyst for present desires and future memories, in the idea of
holiday and entertainment, that suspension of daily life which the author studies and
recounts in images.
His works are to be found in many public and private collections.
