In his work, Marco Tagliafico operates on original photographs of landscapes and objects, altering them through printing processes, collage, graphics and pictorial interventions. In the clash between reality, representation and post-production, his work produces images that resist any specific definition of space and time, questioning the perceptive capacity of the interactions between the human beings and the environment that surrounds them.

My poetics stands in the gap between reality and its representation, in a process of redefinition of the act of seeing.
Photography interacts with other media such as painting and drawing and gives relevance to materials like glass, aluminum, and wood.
I explore the landscape attempting to identify the horizon, an elusive and undefinable place by its very nature.
I move through evanescent images that question the perception of the surrounding world mediated by the technological devices we live with.
La mia poetica si pone nello scarto tra il reale e la sua rappresentazione, in un processo di ridefinizione dell'atto del vedere.
Il mio lavoro fa interagire la fotografia con altre tecniche come la pittura e il disegno e conferisce importanza all'utilizzo di materiali quali vetro, alluminio e legno.
Esploro il paesaggio nel tentativo di individuare un orizzonte, uno spazio elusivo e indefinibile per sua stessa natura.
Mi muovo attraverso immagini evanescenti che mettono in dubbio la percezione del mondo circostante mediata dai dispositivi tecnologici con i quali conviviamo.
