Massimo Vitali

Hilger Contemporary, Wien

The photographer was born in Como in 1944 and studied classical painting in Milan and London. He has been working exclusively in photography for 25 years. Massimo Viatali stands on platforms or ladders 5 metres high and photographs his fellow-countrymen and -women on beaches, in discos and shopping centres, at parties and airports. He deliberately bases his perception on history painters of past centuries. Exhibitions with Massimo Vatali's large-format pictures of massed groups transport to the viewer the heat on the beach just as much as the gay jostle of a party.

In the image: Rosignano Solvay, agosto 1995.
