Andrea Picci is a conceptual artist. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] His work analyses the profound quest for self-identity and its construction through the virtualization of our society. [2] [3] [5] [6]
Picci grew up in Switzerland. [7] He studied photography at ECAL, visual communication at ESAM Design in Paris, and has a MFA from Central Saint Martins in London. [2] [3] [4] [8]
In 2015, Picci staged an artistic performance [9] in which he dressed as Pete Doherty, fooling some photojournalists and having his picture published on Le Parisien's front-page as Doherty's. [2] [5] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
"By embodying a false Doherty on a photograph presented as a true one, the doppelgänger joined an appropriationist art process in a Richard Prince’s style, questioning the construction of identity (hello Cindy Sherman) and tackled our Society of the Spectacle," stated the French newspaper Les Inrockuptibles. [9]
In April 2017, Picci published a book of poetry, Essais de gloire (Anatomie de mon coeur en été). [15]
In June 2018, he showed a series of copies of historic paintings altered to resemble Nabilla Benattia. [5] [10] [11] [16] Benattia said she was "very flattered" by the exhibition. [17] [18]
In 2019, he published a series of Instagram face filters. The filters questioned user's relation to selfie. [14] [19]
In 2020, Picci was part of the group show "Link in Bio" at MdbK (Museum der Bildenden Künste), Leipzig, DE. [20] Curated by Anika Meier, the exhibition explored the impact of social media on contemporary art and showcased how artists have harnessed platforms like Instagram for creative expression. [20] [21]
In October 2021, he was part of "Global Gallery", a collaborative project developed by König Gallery for Porsche. This initiative turned major city screens, like the ones of Times Square and Shibuya Crossing into digital exhibition spaces. [22] [23]
In 2022, Andy Picci was included in the "Class of 2022", a global initiative by CIRCA and Dazed. [24] This project featured the works of 30 emerging artists, which art was showcased on the screens of Piccadilly Circus, London, Uk. [25] [26]
