Francesco Finizio’s work begins with the observation of real events that raise questions relating to power, economy, communication. These events act as filters through which a story of another order unfolds, a story that explores the gap between the ideals we project and the truth of our barebones existence.

I latch onto situations, forms and places to develop his work, which assumes a multitude of forms. His practice is always guided by a concern for visual economy: concision and precision matter most, though he doesn’t consider himself a minimalist. Finizio works more and more often directly on location, by choice, accepting and/or affirming the constraints and contingencies, the pros and the cons, that accompany a given situation.
