#MeetOurLecturers Tommaso Fiscaletti
Tommaso Fiscaletti, Photography Lecturer
Over six years, Tommaso collaborated with Nic Grobler on “Hemelliggaam or The Attempt To Be Here Now,” a visual archive that explores the existential relationship between humans, the environment, and astronomy. This project incorporates significant scientific sites and elements from old Afrikaans science fiction novels.
In addition to his artistic practice, Tommaso has taught photography workshops at the IED in Milan and currently teaches at the Creative Academy in Cape Town.
THE SKIN UNDERNEATH / LA PELLE SOTTO by Tommaso Fiscaletti and Nicola Perugini
The project “The Skin Underneath” by Tommaso Fiscaletti and Nicola Perugini continues to explore the “uncomfortable heritage” of Villa Marina, a building linked to colonialism and racism in Pesaro, Italy. Following the installation of Sun Baths on the building’s facade, the project now includes a series of urban “billboards” titled 7 Interferences. These posters blend images and words to offer a new perspective on the abandoned building, turning its decay into a powerful commentary on dismantling the idea of colonialism and challenging collective memory.
