Antonello Matarazzo

Antonello Matarazzo is an exponent of Medialismo, an Italian movement that postulate different media interaction. He has been engaged in his personal search concerning the visual arts, combining moving pictures with "still" ones, shifting from film-making to paintings and realizing video installations and video projections in galleries, museums and festivals in Italy and outside since 1990.
