Bio:

Luca Curci was born in Bari on December 8, 1975. Architect, videomaker, artist. Deeply rooted in the culture of his region, Curci developed a great ability to express things along with a lively curiosity. After obtaining his Secondary School license, he entered into the department of architecture in Bari; at the same time Curci deepened his acquaintance in the many branches of human knowledge: art, philosophy, literature, science. His natural curiosity brought him to confront himself with new technology. Curci applied to the field of his greatest interest, art in all its forms and expressions. His artistic research today aims at studying and interpreting the antique science called "physiognomy”. Curci uses this science as a pretext for an attentive introspective analysis which looks towards the discovery of various aspects of the human psyche as well as a sociological instrument for the deep comprehension of the daily living and the multifacious reality in which man lives and acts. Luca Curci lives and works in Bari.
