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.
