Bruno Parente is an architect who has developed in recent years work that crosses the field of photography and visual arts. Some of his images seek to explore the experimental limits of the photographic medium, in an attempt to pursue an idea of drift and the impossibility of controlling representation, often in close proximity to other disciplinary areas: from painting and drawing to sculpture and installation.
