Marco is a London based photographer. Greatly attracted to cinema and in particular the luminous Black and White films of the silent era, he creates photographs in sequence. Every sequence tells a unique, multi-layered story, creating a highly personal, imaginary cinema. This body work takes shape in a book called "Circumstances". .. "There is something remarkable about those pictures, something unforeseen, something of new (...) No reply is ever given because of opened pictures to create draft those of Rêveries. What if poetry was there after all?" (Patrice Leconte , Film Director - from the preface of Circumstances).Marco is currently working on two book projects. The first one is called "Big Scenes". Here, the setting is very theatrical, opulent and the characters find themselves being part of a surrealistic world, with reminiscences from the golden era of visual Arts from the 20s and 30s, especially the visionary collaboration between Dalà and Buñuel. The second one is named "Portraits". All the different forms in which human life appear are here captured with a grotesque twist of expressionistic drama. Grotz and Dix are his reference points.Although fascinated by digital arts, Marco strongly believes in the immortality of film, the real essence of photography. He works with a 6x7 camera, and always expects the pictures to be perfect at the first raw.“Photography is a mystery. And every mystery should remain unveiledâ€
