About the Artist

Cristiano Mazzoli plays with the popular connotations of photography. Responding to music and performance, as much as light and shape, Mazzoli's pictures call into the question the compartmentally separated regions of fine art and documentary realism. Taking musicianship as his subject-matter, his photos appear almost casual, mainly because what they aspire to memorialize is spontaneity in process.

Whether it be a saxophone player blowing an ear-shattering solo, or a singer gently adjusting a microphone, Mazzoli focuses on just an aspect of what he originally photographed holistically. Paring down each photograph to its essential subject-matter, allowing the rest of the picture to be greyed out, Mazzoli’s works actually place the viewer closer to what they depict. Just as an auditor might fixate on a musical gesture or style, Mazzoli recreates the rapt contemplation of fragments.
