About Me

Grow up in the rural hills of Apennines Mountains in Italy, Yuri Pirondi degree as “Master of Art” at the Art Institute “A. Venturi” of Modena in Photography and Visual Arts. Yuri is a filmmaker and visual artist who lives and works in London, his works has been shown in several different galleries such as Gulag State Musem (Moscow), Mother Studios (Hackney Wick), Biagiotti Gallery (Florence) or Espacio Islandia (Madrid) and they shown video performative installation pieces at the Barbican centre, Sadler’s Wells theatre and V&A Museum.
His work is a reflection on the relation between visual art and the cinematic experience.
His lens based works explores notions of identity, forms, limits and society using the subconscious, surrealism and the counterfeit of being. He mixes the deceptive of the performance art with the life itself as they persuade themselves that the boundaries between the two realities are not so far from each others.

Right from the start Yuri has followed a multi-disciplinary and transversal artistic direction in which he collaborates with different artists including composers, writers, performers, experimental theatre and dance practitioners. In 2011 Yuri funded MAGMA, a London based art collective working around the idea of cross media collaboration between its members.The collective is working on an ongoing project called Mnemonic City, a residency based on the exploration of urban areas, exchange of ideas and final show, transforming the chosen place into an imaginative archaeological site.
