Vincenzo Barone

Italian photographer in France

I am an italian photographer based in Lille, France.

Vincenzo Barone was born in Italy and lived there for some time.

Then he found himself in France by chance.

He was a musician, writer and philosopher.

Currently he is a photographer.

My photographic research finds its focal point in the street, among people, in the quiet chaos of everyday life and the surprise of routine.

Anything ambiguous, hidden in sunlight and shadow, can fascinate me.

The human presence is essential in my photos, what is not seen and especially what is perceived in a nebulous way represents the true essence of my research.

Reinvent the signifier of daily life, create a new reading code, like in a dream where what appears is not.

I photograph almost exclusively digitally, switching from color photos to black and white photos depending on the project in progress or, quite simply, depending on what I want to convey.

My photography is constantly evolving: a process that requires courage and chaotic discipline.
