Mattia Ciaf (1991) lives and works between Genoa and Milan. He is passionate about sociology and visual culture. After studying cinema at the Apm in Saluzzo, he decided to dedicate himself to artistic research, using images as a means to analyze contemporary society. His research primarily focuses on the themes of consumerism and mass society, aiming to highlight the contradictions and implications in everyday life. Mattia Ciaf invites the viewer to reflect on the dynamics of the contemporary world and how these influence each individual’s life. The subjects he chooses often represent scenes from daily life and the relationship between people, objects, and technology.
