Portfolio by Giorgio Gerardi
Frames from Colors and Shapes, Daily and Still Life projects
My research moves between visual arts and sound composition, weaving together photography, video, and experimental music. This exploration focuses on how perception and technology transform ordinary details into abstract and atmospheric experiences.
I began my path fascinated by the avant-gardes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawn to their analysis of the visual medium as a break from the traditional representation of reality.
In recent years, I have deepened my study of color, form, and everyday objects, integrating Artificial Intelligence into my creative output of video and photographic series. I have also produced numerous short films, composing their original soundtracks, many of which have received awards at international festivals.
I have produced and released three electronic and ambient music albums, personally handling all composition, sound design, and production.
My works are published on my website and have been presented at various physical and online events.
Colors and Shapes
Working across digital imagery, video, and AI, this project centers purely on color and abstract geometry. There are no figures or literal references here, only shifting visual textures that merge, transform, and move. Free from direct representation, the series opens up a quiet, meditative space where perception itself becomes the experience.
Daily
We are surrounded by everyday objects to the point that we almost stop seeing them. In Daily I isolate and decontextualize familiar items, such as dishwasher, refrigerator, bed, allowing them to acquire a new identity and a different visual presence. Through framing and light, these objects are transformed into almost abstract forms, shifting from functional things to autonomous visual entities.
Still Life
With the Waste series, I wanted to give a voice to what is normally forgotten. Discarded matter abandons its nature as refuse to step onto the stage: black bags and empty bottles rise as absolute protagonists, transforming into solid, theatrical figures charged with tension.
As in a journey through time, these compositions are accompanied by still lifes inspired by the allure of the seventeenth century. Fruit and everyday objects rest on set tables, wrapped in a warm, old-world feeling. The gentle play of light and shadow makes time stand still, inviting you into a quiet, suspended moment.
