Francesco Gioia
Francesco Gioia is an Italian, London-based photographer, whose absorbing, candid images poetically capture the theatre of everyday life. Winner of numerous international awards and published in several magazines and newspapers such as The Guardian, Francesco's work has been exhibited in the UK, USA, Africa and Europe.
"By deliberately dismantling or altering contexts, elements emerge from unexpected places and scenes take on an air of intrigue and mystery. Ultimately, my goal is not to achieve perfection but to share who I am and how I see the world."
Francesco Gioia
While visiting New York City, Memento sat down with Francesco ahead of #FG-DROP01 to get his perspective as a photographer & artist. Francesco revealed aspects of his artistic process, his never ending search for randomness and discomfort, and finally his thoughts on fashion as a new medium of photography.
