Pietro Mele

Pietro Mele was born in Alghero (Italy) in 1976. He currently lives and works in Berlin. His work focuses on reality’s smaller aspects such as historical facts which are considered marginal, and that the artist studies so as to provide a new understanding of them. His projects show what is not obvious and gets omitted, and can be seen as amplifiers of information. His aim is to reach a greater level of sharing by starting from very specific questions and proceeding through this forceful process of enlargement.
