Francesco Zizola (Rome, 1962) has been documenting for longer than thirty years the main crisis and conflicts in the world. A strong ethic engagement and a personal style characterize his photography. He deserved many awards, as for instance 10 World Press Photo and 6 Picture of the Year International. In 2003 Henri Cartier Bresson included one photograph by Francesco within his 100 preferred. This collection was turned into an exhibition – Les Choix d’Henry Cartier Bresson – and a book. Among other publications, we have recently “Mare Omnis” with a text by Claudia Corrent (Foto-Forum ed.2022), “Aguanta” (Ediuni ed.2022), “Sale Sudore Sangue” (Postcart ed.2020), “Uno sguardo inadeguato” (Fiaf ed.2013), “Iraq” (Ega ed.2007) and “Born Somewhere” (Delpire ed.2004).
In 2015 Francesco Zizola started a new project called Hybris, exploring the relation between man and nature by means of a deliberately non-documentary language. Then he widened his storytelling beyond photography realizing a short, winning the SIAE 2018 PRICE for the “creative talent” at the Biennale Venice Film Festival. In 2007 he founded the 10b Photography Gallery of Rome and is nowadays the artistic director of the space.
Since 2016 Zizola is also the art director of the World Press Photo exhibitions of Rome and Ferrara and curator of the project Collezione Roma 2020-21-22 for the Museo di arte contemporanea di Roma – Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 27 years of shooting, his photographs have been shown in countless personal as well as collective exhibitions, and they are present in the collections of French institutions such as the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, Chalon-sur-Saone, the MEP, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris.
