Oliviero Olivieri Photography
Born in Cagliari, Sardinia. Oliviero Olivieri is a photographer whose work depict the relationships between architecture, landscape, effectively related to human life. Concentrating on the traces left by history, because history is about men. Making constant studies on new forms of art and the definition of visual arts as a new media. Investigating into new languages to express emotions. Believing that, “Photographers may or may not make a living out of their photos, but photography saved their life”.
In the 1980’s the Central School of art in Holborn “London” was my lab, in which I have printed my first photo story “La piccola Italia” 1989, (Sunday Times Magazine & Peopling Exhibition, Barbican center). Which was my photographic baptism.
Then I went into the process of intense learning, working and publish for all the Condè Nast house Magazines, steady contributor of the Traveller Magazine U.K., Travel & Leisure Magazine U.S. & launched and worked for 34 Magazine Istanbul. Currently I am collaborating with Wallpaper Magazine U.K. with a story in episodes, investigating the Rationalist Architecture.
The power of time in Sardinia has a very strong influence in my work, I am currently developing two major life time projects regarding the island. “Nuraghi” the mysterious towers of Sardinia” & “Carrasecare” The Sardinia festival of Fertility \ These projects were major exhibitions in the Italian Cultural Institute in London & Wales\ Cardiff “The Other Sardinia” 2012\13 Exhibition.
Work published in the form of books:
Stromboli “Terra degli Uomini” Arcadia 2005.
Bazaars “Vibrant Markets” Novartis 2005.
Anima di Materia In Libia “Ali Wak Wak” Gangemi 2013.
Athos “Il cielo in Terra” Sossella 2018.
Currently, I live in Rome with my family. I work from my studio which is my hiding center of creative gravity, in which I play with all the traditional printing techniques. Naturally all the time I am depicting the city that adopted me ” Water Giants, The ancient Roman Aqueducts”, then I shoot anything that is illuminated by a holy light in the streets of Rome. I tend to use digital photos, just like a picture note book, helps me study, meditate and when necessary, go back to the same places, wait for the holy light & shoot film. We are very lucky, we live in an era that allows us to choose \ I am still fond of my little 1960’s Olympus Pen & the 35mm Olympus OM1, plus my dear Mamiya 7 & of course the big Mammas the Gandolfi & Deardorff my large format cameras.
