Jacopo Benassi

Jacopo Benassi began exploring the world of photography in the 1980s, initially through environments connected to underground music. Over time, his work expanded to encompass portraits and self-portraits, performances, painting, nature, and the fashion industry. Throughout his career, he has consistently maintained a deeply intimate and introspective approach to photography. Benassi’s work has progressively evolved from photography to painting, performance and sculpture. His photographic work, developed on the basis of the contrast between the underlying darkness and the light of the flash, set off pitilessly on every subject, has momentarily chosen the non-visible part of things as its location of choice and for concealment, with what remains guarded or imprisoned between one frame and the next, between one image and the next, what can only be imagined or desired.⁠
