Corrado Dalco: 2:45

Ever since I was young I had a strong attraction to everything that is visual. Castles and museums were the places that they preferred to visit during the holidays. In those moments I could find a balance with myself and a strong inner peace. I imagine what I saw and dreamed about the endless lives that had intersected those places and those objects.
Since then the sea has always been a highly evocative component; An element that has given me a sense of freedom and reassures me.
Then draw and paint but not so write. When I was attending the art school I wanted to be a cartoonist, and I used to take the camera with me to every concert I would have taken in the street. I soon realized it was a great way to meet and create a bond with interesting people.
For a long time I mainly deal with fashion, but personal research and works with art more and more time now.
Everything that is visual influences me particularly. in addition to countless exhibitions around the world, I am very interested in cinema and music, which always has an important role in my creative process. I recently collaborated with a Dutch artist who made an installation at the 70th Locarno Film Festival, and let me photograph in his installation for my project that I will present next year.
I also find inspiration from the people I meet while I'm around - I build stories around them. Casting is a crucial moment in my work.
I tend to look at documentary photographers a lot to find inspiration, even if I like to be inspired by paintings, cinema, other photographers and artists.
The search for a muse is a fundamental component of my creative process; it is not a purely aesthetic factor, but rather an emotional facet that makes me fall in love with my subject.
