Giacomo Costa

Attracted from the beginning by the possibility of intervening in photographed reality, he finds his greatest fulfillment in discovering the possibilities of manipulation that the use of digital technologies offer him. With the use of 3D technologies, he creates photorealistic but nonexistent images and scenarios, placing his research somewhere between painting and photography. His reflection starts from what commonly distresses the contemporary world, natural disasters, speculation, pollution, the devastating environmental impact of unsustainable development, and the reckless exploitation of natural resources, translating these and other issues into images.

He participated to the 2nd Premio Cairo, in 2001.
