Paolo di Giosia
Born in 1961, he lives and works in Teramo. His pictures simply describe a real world so that everyone through his releases is able to think over, reflect and dream. The artist’s photography is very different from press or documentary-pictures In 2007 he published a new photographic volume “Solitudini” which tells in a poetical form a world of different people. He gives the reader the images of lonely men, women and children, of human sufferings and silence. According to the artist’s idea our world is a desert of coldness and indifference where people are lonely and isolated. Currently he is working inside of abandoned places and in the old psychiatric hospital of Teramo.

MATTEO FATO
Born in Pescara in 1979, he lives and works in Pescara. Fato unites the awareness of western tradition to the experience of the oriental masters of calligraphy. With the will to rename things, through the frankness of black on white, he rewrites our everyday life. Matteo Fato will present his work video of 2006 “Untitled with Flame” in the spaces of the Project Room at the Warehouse. The work is formed by 561 drawings completely digitalized and created by graphic pen on video. The artist considers this work as a pictorial one, using the video only for a sign support.
