Life
Michele Zaza was born in Molfetta, Apulia in 1948 . After attending the art school in Bari , he moved to Milan and studied sculpture with Marino Marini at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera until 1971 .
“La fotografia ha un ruolo strumentale. Essa è un mezzo efficace e fedele per visualizzare le mie domande sull'esistenza umana. It's a report of the mia rivolta personale. La fotografia mi permette di manifestare i miei desideri. "
“Photography plays a crucial role for me. It is an effective and reliable means to visualize my questions concerning human existence and it is a documentation of my personal freedom struggle. Photography enables me to give shape to my wishes. "
An atmosphere is created in his installations in which elements from everyday life become symbols.
He often shows faces in his photographs. Whether male or female, they are painted in the colors of heaven and earth in brown, blue and white.
For Zaza photography is not “a testimony to an objective reality, but a creation of reality”. Michele Zaza likes to call himself “the thinker of images”.
