Lorenzo Bacci is a Milan-based photographer and visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice extends beyond the boundaries of the image to question the nature of representation. He deconstructs the image, revealing it as a site of meaning where socio-economic and political tensions converge.
Bacci’s work is rooted in a collaborative methodology that creates a space for mutual inquiry and self-reflexive critique. Since 2019 he co-founded the artist duo Bacci | Moriniello whose work investigates the complex entanglement between humans and technology, focusing on how automated systems and digital infrastructures shape human perception.
