Bestie e altro


Vito had died not long before, a few weeks earlier, when Andrea told me they had decided to put Lillo down too. He could not go on living, not alone. It no longer made any sense.

In those days I often went to that house, surely drawn by the melancholic fragility that still seemed to cling to the dog. By then lame and almost blind, Lillo dragged himself by inertia from room to room, wandering without any precise direction, indifferent to us and to the space around him, as if he were already ready to forget everything.

And with him, somehow, the other animals too.

2025 - Sicily





Bestie e altro

Nicola Maria Patitucci (2001) is a Sicilian photographer and visual artist based in Milan. His practice unfolds through long-term photographic projects, archival images, and materials collected in the course of daily life. Landscapes, familiar figures, animals, domestic spaces, and places he has passed through constitute the main subjects of a body of work linked to memory, perception, and the construction of the imagination.

His work stems from a personal and experimental relationship with the medium of photography. The images are produced at different times and in different contexts, preserved over time, and subsequently brought together through sequences, correspondences, and visual recurrences. Technical alterations, overexposure, loss of detail, and unexpected results all contribute to the creation of a photograph in which the observed experience intertwines with memory and individual projection.

His research considers the image as a space of transformation, in which the visible can take on unstable, ambiguous, and open-ended forms. Through photography, Patitucci explores the distance between what is experienced, what is remembered, and what remains of the experience once it has been translated into an image.

He studied Communication Design at the Politecnico di Milano. In 2026, he presented Dal sonno, his first solo exhibition, at Cane Studio in Milan.
