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.
