Dimitri D’ippolito

Dimitri D’ippolito (1993) is an Italian/American photographer and a craftsman born in Florence (IT). He studied photography at the Studio Art Centers International Florence. He took part to the 2015 ISSP Storytelling Workshop By Jim Goldberg. He is currently in the final year of a BA Hons -Fine Arts Photography at the University of Brighton. His art concerns social issues in contemporary society and of past happenings that have an influence on our present. His bodies of work are often politically and satirically charged, as he works following the lines of socially responsible art. He narrates stories, facts and realities of our lives and surroundings: in order to do so, he investigates and digs into the heart of situations to find the elements that will enable me to guide the narrations. The aim of his practice is to be both critical and analytical whilst, most importantly, creating awareness in the public about issues that he considers important and deserving to be shed light upon.
