GIANNI VOLPI
Modena 1946, May 31st.
Teacher of English Literature in Italian High Schools, also taking care of students during summer courses in England.
Professional photographer since 1976 always directing activity to fields where the human figure is always point of reference: FASHION, THEATRE, TOURISM, PORTRAIT, NUDE, REPORTAGE, wherever a gesture is expression of communication.
When I left teaching I took pleasure in shooting people in places. Their private intimate stories were supposed to become also mine.
Reality as just a docile pretext, a stage for my trips, either physical or mental. Other people, maybe, will follow the path, maybe to get to a different destination, it doesn’t matter. We have, anyhow, walked together for a while.
