fabio barile

Barile graduated from FSM in Florence with a degree in photography in 2007. In the same year he was selected as one of 15 finalists of the 'Atlante Italiano 007' Award and his work was exhibited at MAXXI,in Rome. He started his photographic research in 2005 with a project about coastal erosion that affects 1500 km of the Italian coastline. This project, titled 'Among', aims to investigate natural processes of the landscape. It is also part of 'Visions and Documents', a ten-book set published by Documentary Platform. ‘Among’ has been exhibited in several group shows, for example: 'Tempi Osceni. Moments de la photographie contemporaine italienne II' at the Centre d’Art Dominique Lang in 2009. In the same year, he had his first solo show, 'Diary n°0, things that do not happen', as part of Fotografia, Festival Internazionale di Roma. This exhibition resulted in the publication of his first book, curated and produced by 3/3.

In 2017, following his solo show at Matèria, Barile exhibited a selection of works from his body of work “An investigation of the laws observable in the composition, dissolution and restoration of land” at the National Archive for Cataloguing and Documentation in Rome, Curated by Benedetta Cestelli Guidi, creating a dialogue between his work and the images sourced from the archive itself. In 2019, alongside Domingo Milella, he participates in his first major museum exhibition ‘Le Forme del Tempo’, curated by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva at Fondazione Pescheria Centro Arti Visive in Pesaro. During the last few years, he has developed a major interest in complexity, and the use of photography as a philosophical tool, in order to stimulate a conscious and deeper understanding of reality.
