ABout

My name is Pietro Fanti and I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in Milan. My practice investigates the role of images in the digital era and the contradictory relationship between photography and memory — treating the photographic image not as a transparent document of reality, but as a space for speculation, invention, and empathy. Research is central to my work, which moves between traditional photographic processes and contemporary digital tools such as photogrammetry and digital archiving.
