Gian Paolo Minelli

Lives and works in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Chiasso (Switzerland).

For Minelli, photography is an instrument for investigating the people and places making up his world. He alternates within a twin-theme register: portrait/self-portrait and urban reality. Minelli has over the years and with the rigour of a scientific researcher traced out a sample of contemporary society in which ethics and aesthetics are closely linked, highlighting the typical contradictions and contrasts.
