Leonardo Dal Bo Lo Porto is an Italian artist and filmmaker based in Paris.
Through film, sculpture, and painting, his work explores facets of the anthropic impact such as city densification, ruin, and imagery insistence - elements that although caused by us, often elude our understanding.
He completed undergraduate studies at the École de Beaux Arts de Marseille and the European Film College. His work has been exhibited at Venice Arsenale - Arte Laguna Prize (ITA), Arts Éphémerès (FR), Art City (IT), Galleria Taller Goria (CUBA), MUJAM (MX), Sotto Le Stelle Del Cinema festival (IT).
The iconography of images, the connotation of words, and the collective memory of places: in art, everything evokes meaning, and for each person, it changes according to personal experience. Everyone sees in the same way, with a few exceptions, but we all observe differently.
The stranger frightens, and fear paralyzes; I row against the reactionary impulse. Comfort breeds laziness and inertia immobilizes; I row against claimed progressivism, yet indisposed to act. I believe in the deconstruction-construction of thought as revolutionary processes of society. I don't formulate technical solutions, but my battle is to think differently, and my tool is imagination.
