My attention goes especially to themes that concern the individual and the identity in the current society of information and technology, hence to the economic and cultural processes that define the social dynamics, to processes of globalization and exclusion, to the invasivity of the multimedia world and to the pervasiveness of technology. I think it is important to develop a survival strategy starting from your own marginality; to decolonize your own imagination from those values that tend to homogenisation in order to formulate new hypothesis of participation.

A Queer Culture Illustrated Guide
A Queer Guide is a for-dummies encyclopedia about LGBT world, terms and icons. It’s a fun way to learn and find the things you need to know to fight against ignorance and discrimination. The Guide is open to contribution and to be updated every time someone has something to add.
A Queer Guide is also a little printed booklet. You can purchase it as a nice gift to your loved one, homophobic neighbours, Santa Claus, your parents, and straight friends who constantly ask you “…what’s the deal with you?”
Nicolò Bruno
I have always considered art as a peculiar narrative and communicative tool, but the more I practice my job, the most I realize that art is actually more than this: it’s a practice of identification.
Recently I have been working on a painting series named “Eudemonologia”, which means the pursuit of happiness, based on a Schopenhauer’s essay. This painting series is populated by human backs with the aim of pursuing a physicality study concerning the human being, which mirrors the famous Latin statement “mens sana in corpore sano”.
While I was working on it, in a moment of reflection between doing and viewing, I found myself alone in a room, in front of dozen of figures standing one next to the other. They weren’t looking at me but they were turning their backs on me, and then I felt like my own work was rejecting its own creator. This amazement, this elusiveness are the real interests behind my research. I believe that art is a slimy, elusive, constantly mutable creature that acts independently from the observer’s will.
