Flavio
Tiberti lives and works in
Torino, Italy .He spent several
years in London during which he
studied visual arts and
painting. A photojournalist in
the beginning, he published for
travel magazines and other
periodicals Then he evolved
into photographic projects
carried out in different
countries such as the one on the
Masai tribes in Tanzania and the
project on the Kirov Theatre in
Saint Petersburg, Russia,.
Three years after the attack on
the Twin Towers in New York,
Flavio set out to photograph
the “City that Never Sleeps” to
document how the effects of such
violence changed people. In 2205
he traveled thru China to
capture the capitalistic new
reality in contract to what was
left of the old world.
In his own
words, “I love my pictures to
talk to people, feelings,
gestures and emotions wrapped up
in an instant. The ultimate
idea is to transfer my reactions
through an image. Talk between
souls. I see myself as the
intermediary in this talk. I
just put a bit of my soul into
it. Some say that a picture can
steal your soul, I am sure
there is a piece of mine in it
too”.
