Diego Fiori

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diego Fulvio Fiori, simply known as Diego Fiori (Rome, October 20, 1975) is an Italian artist, director and film producer[1][2] who is mostly active in the field of Video art and particularly known for the short film The Words Hear the Light.[3] This short was presented out of competition in 2015 at the Cannes Film Festival[4] and awarded with the Bronze Award for Editing at the American Movie Awards.[5]

Biography

[edit]

He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where he was, among others, student of Luciano Fabro. In addition, he followed the lessons of Giorgio Agamben at the IUAV of Venice in Italy. Fiori welcomes the affirmation of Luciano Fabro that the artist transmits his experience without pre-conceptual categories: this perspective will bring him subsequently closer to the theatre and work of Carmelo Bene and the anthropological paradigm of Ernesto de Martino. These suggestions, transferred and reinterpreted in the cinematographic field, will be fundamental also in the approach the will give to documentary filmmaking. Of particular significance for Diego Fiori are the poetics of Pedro Costa, Jean-Marie Straub, Danièle Huillet, Vittorio De Seta, Michael Glawogger and the friendship with the Italian documentarist Luigi Di Gianni. The thesis Il potere sui corpi, la potenza del corpo. L'arte come forma di resilienza, elaborated with the guidance of the art historian Giovanna dalla Chiesa, was published in 2015 with the title "Wissen Sie, das Volk fehlt – Zum Konzept der Resilienz" in the German-language magazine "Texte: Psychoanalyse. Ästhetik. Kulturkritik, with which he started a collaboration from the moment on".[6] In the sector of Video art he began his career in 2009 with the "Trilogy of Silence", composed by: "Donate Silence", "Birth and Death of Alter Ego" and "Last Classical Kiss", winning the Silver Award at the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Poland.[7] The "Trilogy of Silence" participated at numerous Film Festivals and Art Festivals, marking the beginning of a successful season in the production and distribution of short films in the field of Video art.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

From 2007 to 2010 he was a Subject Expert at the Faculty of Social Anthropology at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, participating, for the visual aspects, to the research activities of the chair.[15]

From 2010 to 2012 he was a Subject Expert at the Faculty of Sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Frosinone. In 2016 the documentary film The Children of the Noon,[16][17][18] co-directed with the filmmaker Olga Pohankova,[19] was presented at the St. Louis International Film Festival in the US,[20][21] In April 2017 it was awarded with the Coup de cœur du jury at the Festival International du Film Panafricain de Cannes.[22] The short version of the documentary film was transmitted by Rai 3 on 31 August 2017 within the Doc3 format.[23]

Since 2017 Diego Fiori is member of the Associazione Italiana Scenografi Costumisti Arredatori (Italian Production Designers, Costume Designers and Set Decorators Guild).
