Il filo di Arianna, 1983/85
The beginning, at the age of 18, without an identity and the privilege of owning a camera and turn it into a tool for answering adolescent complex. Il filo di Arianna is the attempt to recover the thread of life revisiting through photography those signs, those places rejected in life. It is the beginning of the reconstruction of myself looking for some truth to which to anchor. But first of all it is the awareness of the ‘gift’ of photography which has to be protected and guarded because it is clear to me that that is my place in the world.

Impasto, 1989/91
“The laboratory of Neiwiller is the incentive to tickle the internal strings of thought and emotion, so that they become pure and stripped epiphanies” (Leo De Berardinis)
Impasto is the systematic and substantial application of theater director’s, Antonio Neiwiller, laboratory.
The dough tub is what I inherited from my mother, who made bread, and it becomes the naked and open place through photography. It is also the time of the awareness of a rediscovered memory and the ambition of knowing that of the Man, who does ‘laboratory’, and those essential subjects that belong to it.

Antonio Biasiucci

Antonio Biasiucci was born in Dragoni, in the province of Caserta, in 1961. In 1980 he moved to Naples, where he began to work on the spaces of urban peripheries while researching, at the same time, about personal memory, photographing practices, environments and people from his native town. In 1984 he began a collaboration with the Vesuvius Observatory, carrying out an extensive work on active volcanoes in Italy. In 1987 he met Antonio Neiwiller, actor and theater director: the professional partnership that arose between them lasted until 1993, the year of his death. Since the beginning his research rooted in the themes of the Southern culture becoming, in recent years, a journey into the primary elements of existence. He won many awards, including, in 1992, in Arles, the European Kodak Panorama prize; in 2005 he obtained the Kraszna / Krausz Photography Book Award for the publication of the volume Res. Lo stato delle cose (2004) and in the same year, Bastianelli Prize. Many are the solo exhibitions and the group exhibitions, festivals, national and international exhibitions to which he took part. He also contributed to several editorial projects, including, in particular, those held by the publishing house L’Ancora del Mediterraneo, of Naples (2000-2004) and participated in important cultural and social initiatives. Many of his works are in the permanent collections of museums and institutions in Italy and abroad, including: National Institute for graphics, Rome; MAXXI, Rome; PAN Palazzo delle Arti, Naples; MADRE – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina, Naples; Metropolitana of Naples, Galleria Civica di Modena; Museum of Contemporary Photography Villa Ghirlanda, Cinisello Balsamo (Milan), Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo for Contemporary Art, Guarene (Cuneo); Fondazione Banco of Naples; Unicredit Bank Collection, Bologna; Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; Château d’Eau, Toulouse; Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne; Centre de la Photographie, Geneva; Fondazione Banca del Gottardo, Lugano; Centre Méditerranéen de la Photographie, Bastia; Galerie Freihausgasse, Villach (Austria); Departamento de Investigación y Documentación de la Cultura Audiovisual, Puebla (Mexico).
