Here we are, in front of a self-portrait which, quite literally, appears to the nth power, and in which the artist’s image is reproduced over 300 times. Each time different, yet the same, placed, not by chance, in a space providing its mise-en scène: a theatre – a theatre of the Ego, then – apparently celebrating the triumph of the most uninhibited narcissism.
Marco Circhirillo was born in 1980 in Parma, where he lives and works. He graduated in Arts at the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy and Master's Degree in History of Contemporary Art. His expressive research concerns photography in particular, where the passion for the history of art pushes him to constantly dialogue with the great masters, ranging from different techniques.
