Raffaele Fiorella

Raffaele Fiorella (Barletta, 1979) works across installation, video, and sculpture, exploring the expressive potential of digital art. Poised between poetry and everyday life, his research investigates the boundary between reality and fiction,constructing landscapes of memory and illusion as spaces of escape and refuge, imagined or simulated. He has exhibited in Italy and abroad, including Italian Reflections (Italian Cultural Institute, Cairo, 2017) and Opera Viva Barriera di Milano (Turin), by invitation of Christian Caliandro. Among the main milestones of his career are Unodiuno (Naples, 2016), Syntesis (Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali, 2015), the BoCS Art residency (Cosenza, 2015), the solo exhibition Menzogna (Bari, 2015), Fuoriluogo (2014), and Duel (Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali, 2014). More recently, he has participated in Zoo Generation (2020), La comunità del Compost, and Play Dead – Chapter 2 (2024). In July 2025, he will be in residence at the Caloma Festival at Fondazione Le Costantine. Alongside his artistic practice, he has organized several residencies and curated participatory projects with Erasmus students and young artists, promoting collaborative processes and intercultural exchange. He is currently a lecturer in Digital Applications for Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari.
