Paolo Simonazzi

Paolo Simonazzi lives and works in Reggio Emilia. He has published several photography books, has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, his projects have been featured at prestigious photography festivals, and his photographs are held in museums and major public and private collections. His stylistic approach reveals a perspective that is both affectionate and ironic, focusing on places and situations where reality blends imperceptibly with the surreal. He loves to capture paradox as a form of expression in its own right. In this way, the ordinary is able to rise to the level of the extraordinary. Among his most representative works:: Il filo e il fiume (Silvana editoriale, 2021), “La casa di Lenin” (I Quaderni di Gente di fotografia, 2021), Icons of liscio (GuaraldiLAB, 2019), So near, so far (Danilo Montanari editore, 2018), Mantua, Cuba (Greta,s Books, 2016), Bell’Italia (Silvana editoriale, 2014), Cose ritrovate (Marsilio editore, 2014), Mondo Piccolo (Umberto Allemandi editore, 2010), Tra la via Emilia e il West (Baldini Castoldi Dalai editore, 2007).
