images into a new, condensed and enriched form is one of his main
concerns. Italian porn comics, pop and pop art and films like
"svezia, inferno e paradiso" have a strong impact on his current work
celebrating italian pop culture from the past and transcending it into
a visionary cultish shrine or totem like existence. A Homage for
antique heritage and old master renaissance paintings mixed with sex
and violence from popular imagery for good measure.

been the recipient of numerous awards for his experimental films.His

and music videos for New Order "Turn".
