Good morning, Lugano

How do photographs change in Switzerland today when people are filmed in public places and then published without their permission? This is the story of censorship that becomes an opportunity for media exploration, exploring the intersection of social identity and personal privacy, through the lens of a street photographer armed with an iPhone.

Matteo Fieni

Fotografo, Lugano, 1976

Matteo Fieni (*1976) uses photography with an iconoclastic approach. His pictures describe basic and essential contents and try to break with traditional formal structures. Fieni considers his hometown and work base Lugano as a place between two cultures, where the tension catholicism - protestantism is present. In his engaged and lively research he creates pictures that combine the intensity of his 'southern' caracter with 'nordic' concepts of imagemaking. The investigation of this clash between concepts leads him to a genuine form of photography, displaying landscape, urbanity and human portraits. He graduated in photography at the IED in Milan, and studied communication science at USI (Università Svizzera italiana). Fieni is the artistic director of the no profit association Across Photography 'AP' in Geneva, member of Switzerlands professional jouranlists association 'Impressum' and the Swiss visual artist 'Visarte'.
