Gian Maria Tosatti creates environmental installations. His projects are usually long-term investigations of topics related to identity. Tosatti focuses on exploring the idea of cities as analogies of their inhabitants’ soul. He is currently developing a project in New York City called I’ve already been here, reflecting on the value of a single human life in this moment of history.

Gian Maria Tosatti (born Rome, 1980) began his career in performing arts in 2002 at Teatro Era-Centro Sperimentazione e Ricerca Teatrale. In 2005, he undertook research at the confluence of architecture and visual arts, which has since inspired all his subsequent site-specific installations. Tosatti is working on two projects, Fondamenta, based on the identification of contemporary age archetypes and Le considerazioni…, dedicated to the enigmas of personal memories and the traces that humans leave behind. His work has been shown at the Hessel Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Donna Regina, Naples; Lower Manhattan Cultural Council; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Rome; American Academy in Rome; and Museo Villa Croce, Genoa.
