Salvatore Fiorello’s work is an investigation into the complex field of urbanscapes. His images first undergo a scanning process; the resulting fragmentation and pixelation are reminiscent of video surveillance cameras.

His emptied urban environment has a quiet feel, and although no people seem to inhabit them, they still give the impression of a space being watched. His appropriation of video surveillance screening offers him rich antinomies between desolation and intensification, between function and content.
