Giovanni Ambrosio

Giovanni Ambrosio, born in 1978 in Naples (Italy) and based in Paris. I like the feeling of being a stranger, I like to go beyond thresholds. I attended Sergio De Benedittis’ course of Photography and Desire at Nigma Fotografi school in Naples (Italy) and later I have been a student of Photography and Contemporary Art department at Paris 8 University in France (but not until the final diploma). Photography studies are not my main education, I hold a master of French and Portuguese literature in Italy and a master (called Dea at the time) of Cinema society and literature in France. After about ten years as a teacher (Italian as foreign language), in 2010 I started my career as a professional photographer and artist. My personal projects are mostly works based on classic genres of fine art photography which I use to refer to in latin: effigies, spatium, argumenta, naturae mortae, abstracta.
