Bio:
Maurizio Galimberti was born in Como in 1956 and after a period spent in Meda he moved to Milan where he now lives and works.
He soon approached the world of film photography, making his debut with a Widelux rotating lens camera, and in 1983 he focused his efforts radically and definitively on instant photography.
Over the years his research has expanded to new themes and he has come to reinvent the “Photographic Mosaic” technique, which he adapts to portraits.
In 2015, he collaborated with Forni Industriali Bendotti to shoot the story of ORI Martin’s new pre-heating furnace through those instant photo mosaics that made him internationally famous.
His photography develops through time in a dimension of research and discovery of rhythm and movement, the reference to Bragaglia’s photo-dynamism and Duchampian ready-made is evident. Numerous portraits were taken in the world of cinema, art and culture, but the “Mosaic” soon became the technique for portraying landscapes, architecture and cities.
He produced two important works for Paris and Lisbon in a reflection on the importance of being able to tell the story, the music and the experience of a place through images.
During his first trip to New York, he began his research on light, on the energy inspired by this city, which for the artist became the ideal representation of the contemporary world.
New York will be followed by monographic works on other cities such as Berlin, Venice and Naples.
Since 2017 he has been an ambassador for Instax, Fujifilm’s instant photography brand, and together with the brand he has carried out numerous artistic and research projects.
