Presentation Alberto de Michele
Alberto de Michele (IT/NL, 1980), Rijksakademie for the Visual Arts
In the past three years De Michele has mainly been focusing on the world around his father. He gave him an upbringing surrounded by thieves, gangsters and gambling addicts, a social environment most people experience as sinister and unsavoury. Since he grew up in this environment and still has one foot in his father’s world, he is able to communicate easily with the people in it. He can build up a bond of trust between them and him that enables him to explore their lives in a privileged way.
