Holding a Master in Art and Politics from the Goldsmiths University in London, Monteleone is interested in the theoretical role and use of technical images in society and the relation between images and data. He is active as a curator and educator in numerous public and private institutions. "Even though I come from the tradition of documentary photography, I have always been attracted by themes that elude immediate visual impact. In fact, I believe that the intangible themes of our time hide the essential questions of our society. If my projects are based on a pedagogical and informative approach, my goal is to build narratives that interpret a concept. In the abundance of information in which we live, I see my role as a curiosity trigger that leaves the viewer free to undertake their own research to start investigating themselves."

Délio Jasse
Délio Jasse
Visual artist, photographer

In his photographic work, Délio Jasse often interweaves found images with clues from past lives (found passport photos, family albums) to draw links between photography - in particular the concept of the 'latent image' - and memory. Jasse is known for experimenting with analogue photographic printing processes, including cyanotype, platinum and early printing processes. He uses analogue processes to subvert the reproducibility of the photographic medium, creating subtle variants and interventions using painting, liquid-light, gold-leafing and collage. Delio Jasse’s recent exhibitions include Bellezza e Terrore: luoghi di colonialismo e fascismo, Museo Madre, Napoli (2022); Il giardino Dell’arte. Dentro Pecci Prato (2022); Arquivo Urbano, Tiwani Contemporary, London (2019); The Other Chapter, PHotoESPAÑA (2019); An imaginary city, MAXXI, Rome (2018); La Cité dans le Jour Bleu, Dak’art Biennale (2018); Recent Histories, Walther Collection, Neu-Ulm and New York (2017); Afrotopia, Bamako Encounters, Bamako (2017) and On Ways of Travelling, the Angolan Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015).
