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.
My work exists in the interaction between photography and other techniques, giving importance to the use of materials such as glass, painting, aluminum, and wood.
I move through a non-linear narration made of fragmented images that transform into matter, slowing the perception of the surrounding world and shifting the attention between the visual plane and other sensory levels.
I explore the landscape attempting to identify the horizon, an elusive and multiple space, a place undefinable by its very nature.
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 esiste nell'interazione tra fotografia e altre tecniche, conferendo importanza all'utilizzo di materiali come vetro, pittura, alluminio e legno.
Mi muovo attraverso una narrazione non lineare fatta di immagini frammentate che trasformo in materia, rallentando la percezione del mondo circostante e spostando l'attenzione tra il piano visivo e altri livelli sensoriali.
Esploro il paesaggio nel tentativo di individuare un orizzonte, uno spazio elusivo e molteplice, un luogo indefinibile per sua stessa natura.
