Max Serradifalco
Max Serradifalco (Palermo, 1978) is a visual landscape artist who lives and works in Italy. In 2011 he developed his first artistic project “Web Landscape Photography” in which he virtually traveled across our planet in search of a new way of observing and reinterpreting the Earth’s landscapes. Serradifalco was among the first artist to have created photographic series with the sole use of satellite maps, via the web. His work tests the boundaries between travel, photography, geography and virtual reality. These are non-manipulated screenshots which, thanks to the attentive and visionary gaze of the artist, “reveal” natural drawings already present on the earth’s surface. Max Serradifalco therefore leads an aesthetic project, but with an ethical and environmentalist purpose, focusing on the grandeur of nature. His works were published in Adobe’s Behance catalog and selected by Saatchi for the Samsung The Frame project. He has had solo exhibition at the Riso Museum in Palermo, at the Giffoni Film Festival, at the Galleria Bianchi Zardin in Milan, at the Exclusiva foundation in Rome. Among the most significant group exhibitions is “We are all Greek” at the Byzantine museum in Thessaloniki. His works are currently present in public and private collections in Europe and the United States.
