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.

Il mio lavoro si sviluppa attraverso paesaggi immaginari al limite tra figurazione e astrazione, partendo da una sperimentazione sul mezzo fotografico.
E' un processo di creazione e sparizione delle immagini, nel quale ripetizione e sovrapposizione portano a risultati imprevisti che ridefiniscono la percezione del mondo fisico circostante.
Una lavoro sullo sguardo che tenta di raggiungere un metaforico orizzonte, uno spazio elusivo e indefinibile per sua stessa natura.
