Giovanni Chiaromonte was born in Varese in 1948, from Sicilian parents. In 1961 he moved to Milan where he graduated in philosophical studies; already in the late sixties he began his artistic career as a conceptual artist, focusing on figurative photography, Pop Art and cinema. At the start of his career Chiaromonte reconsidered the role of a photographic act, it was no longer a simple reportage, but it became an instrument to explore the world. At the beginning of the seventies, his encounter with Andrej Tarkovskijt’s cinematographic art brought him to a wider conception of the place as a relationship between destiny and civilization. He abandoned the revolutionary political spirit of the time to seek a less collective and more mystical way of spiritual revolution, with photography as his instrument.
