Personal history and training.
Born in Grosseto in 1971.
Since 1996 he has frequented Rome and the Roman artistic world. He moved to Milan in 2001, worked in Belgium from 2002 to 2008 for marketing projects, returned to Tuscany in 2009 in the Castello di Saltemnano in the Sienese countryside where he lived for twelve years.
Since 1996 she regularly frequents London where she works both as an artist and photographer.
Since 2017 he has lived in Rome, Grosseto and London.
He always develops, both for companies and personally, projects where the boundary between art, marketing and communication is extremely blurred.
The main themes of his works are social, photography, often conceptual, is a tool to make people think, to provoke, to be often included in performances, in installations.
She approaches the world of analogue photography very young at the age of 18, prints her images reaching an excellent level that will bring her the attention of Roberto Mutti who will follow her for many years in her artistic path, then over the years she will switch to digital, to video, new photography, vjing.
In 2001, after attending the courses of photographer Maria Neri Barigozzi for three years, he won a scholarship for the University of the Image of Fabrizio Ferri in Milan, where he studied with the greatest exponents of Italian and European photography, critics and Italian art, from Elio Grazioli to Fabrizio Ferri himself, from Emanuela de Cecco to Francesco Dondina.
After this Milanese experience he began to travel between Italy and Belgium, where he made his first corporate reportages and his first artistic projects.
His path is mainly that of the self-taught, alternating with periods of training and research.
Since 2003, photography is not only an artistic expression but also becomes a profession and opens its own communication studio VR Communication and professional photography for companies.
Sensory and synaesthesia, reflection on perception and vision, social themes become the matrix of almost all of his photographic works.
The social issues it addresses are many:
eating disorders (Ana, so Ugly, I eat therefore I'm)
senility (In particular)
the memory (Liquid Eyes)
the perception of the other (Contact)
the unconscious (Perforamativi Portraits: The Princess Who Can't Laugh - The Prince and the Poor, Giuly & Parise, Stefy in the wonderland with Diamond)
Immigration (Colletive Portrait Geneve - Hands and faces of the world)
Violence (Noi Social 4 Women, I gift 4 you, I am pure love)
EXPERIENCES AND COLLABORATIONS
His path moves alternately, between video, photography, performance, installation, alternating but also mixing the various media.
Also in 2006 he began to collaborate with the magazine FeFè Project, a magazine of the European Institute of Design directed by Luigi Vernieri for which he edited reportage on art events related to the film festival and the Roman art festivals. Belvedere festival, Viedram Festival, Film Festival.
In 2013 he will bring his Work shop "Synaesthetic and sensorial investigations" within the cycles of WS IED Factory in Rome.
Since 2003 he has been holding photography courses, developing his own teaching method "Approach to photography through the 5 senses" for marketing and art photography and work shop "Synaesthetic and sensory investigations" for reportage photography and "About your body" for social and fashion photography.
In 2008 he created his school "Vanessa Rusci Method Photography School" at the media library of Asciano, Siena, to date the courses continue online and around Italy with Workshops.
He exhibits in New York with the See.me gallery, in Paris at the Louvre for an event with See.me NY, and in Miami for Art Scoope Miami. Since 2010 he has been selling his images in Los Angeles with the SaatchiArt gallery, in London and Oxford with the Fine art Seen gallery, currently represented by NNC Gallery London and Apero Gallery California.
He is an Italian exponent of the new Vjing technique and in 2010 he won the Arte Laguna Arsenali award at the Biennale in the Performance section with a work in crew where he made the videos; in the following years with Lpm Live Performers Meeting he exhibited in Minsk and Capetown. Her images from the live vj sets that she calls VJtable are on sale in the SaarchiArt online gallery in Los Angeles.
Since 2011 he discovers and begins to deal with social networks for companies, always continuing to overlap artistic and marketing levels and starting a research on virtual perception and memory.
