Marco Delogu
Photographer / Publisher, Punctum
Marco Delogu was born in Rome, Italy in 1960.
His research focuses on portraits of groups of people who share common experiences and languages. In recent years the main focus of his work has been nature, and hence his attention has shifted, in various manners, from man to his surroundings.
Delogu has published over twenty books, and has held exhibitions in Italy and abroad in many art galleries and museums including: Accademia di Francia, Villa Medici, Rome; Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome; the Warburg Institute, London; the Henry Moore Foundation, Leeds; IRCAM, Centre George Pompidou, Paris; the Museé de l'Elysee, Lausanne; PhotoMuseum, Moscow; Musei Capitolini, Rome.
A celebrated photographer, Delogu is also a publisher and exhibition curator. In 2002, he invented the first FotoGrafia - international festival of photography in Rome, of which he is the art director. In 2003, he founded the publishing house Punctum. He has curated more than 50 exhibitions including some of the most important figures of world photography, such as Josef Koudelka (Mercati di Traiano, Rome 2003), Sally Mann (Karsten Greve gallery, Paris 2004) Olivo Barbieri (Mercati di Traiano, Rome 2004), Don Mccullin (Mercati di Traiano, Rome 2004), Anders Petersen (Musei Capitolini, Rome 2005), Martin Parr (Musei Capitolini, Rome 2006), Graciela Iturbide (Tempio di Adriano, Rome 2007), Guy Tillim (Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome 2009) and Lee Miller (Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome 2009).
