PORTFOLIO
Edoardo Cozzani is an Italian visual artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. After obtaining a master degree in law at the LUISS Guido Carli university in Rome, he graduates from the full-time program of creative practices at the International Center of Photography in New York. During the same year he starts being represented by Cultrise, a roman art platform and curatorial project and one of the photos of the project produced for graduation is selected as signature image for a group show at Rita K. Hillman gallery.
He was able to show his work through both groups and solo exhibitions (ACTA International gallery, Rita K. Hillman gallery, Cultirse, Lab 174) , artist talks (American Academy in Rome, ICP in NY) , a residency program at the Italy America Chamber of Commerce and at I Never Read book art fair in Basel, Switzerland.
Cozzani is interested in the interactions between nature, men, and the structures that govern this coexistence.
His production is made of lens-based pictures and camera-less photographs, that are created by using a completely analog process.
Using photography as a method of investigation of reality that does not entail a realistic representation of the world, Cozzani makes work that ranges from film photographs to mold based photograms and sculpture.
This way, by stripping photography down to its bare essentials, he is able to intersect with other media and focus on the notion of light-sensitive reactions.
He is mostly interested in exploring the relationship between material and subject to demonstrate the unity between the living world and the world we live in.
Cozzani’s research is all based on the role myth played in the shaping of society and the history that brought its iconography to animate from a natural to an artificial habitat.
