Paolo Ciregia (1987, Italy), lives and works in Italy. In the last five years his artistic research has been focused primarily on Ukraine, first documenting the Russian Ukrainian conflict through a series of photographs, which he later manipulates and reworks in a new way. Using cuts, burns and narrow closeups he decontextualizes the photographs creating a new iconographic register, linked to the war. Political ideologies, alienation, and means of mass control are topics on which he based his research; dissecting and reworking the languages used by this totalitarian establishment, Ciregia's aim is to reveal the atrocities behind the war, destroying the false and arrogant patina created by propaganda.
