(born 1962, in Amsterdam)

 

A resident of Rome and Genf, Switzerland, Marco Polini has had solo exhibitions in both cities as well as in France and Mexico. His Shadowing the Invisible Man is cast in the form of a storyboard for a documentary film. Seen through the eyes of its off-screen protagonist—an asylum-seeker in Bari, Italy, near the Swiss border—Shadowing incorporates photographs and text to conjure up a film that will never be realized, except in the minds of its viewers.
