DISCIPULA (Italy)
Founded by M.F.G. Paltrinieri, Mirko Smerdel and Tommaso Tanini in 2013, they are based in Milan. Discipula is a collaborative research platform operating in the field of photography and visual culture. Adopting various strategies and with a particular focus on the forms and methods of narration, Discipula work delves into the production, use and consumption of images and explores the interweaving of fact and fiction in the process of meaning making.
As a mean through which to bring art projects outside more conventional and institutional spaces and to question the distinctions between creation and production, Discipula is committed to designing, self publishing and distributing its works as limited edition books and other printed matters
Presenting: works from the serie OMA_Morpheus, 2018
