Giorgio Finamore was born in Mestre, a small town nearby Venice in between its marvellous architecture and the cold darkness of an industrial area called Marghera. Growing up within this contradictory atmosphere, Giorgio explores the intricate relationship between body and machine; human and technology; reality and digital realm.
