Paolo Ciregia ­ Bio

I was born in 1987.

5 years ago i started to study photography after a journey in Indonesia .

I have been working on an ongoing project about Ukraine since the past four years, i worked on

several stories before,during and after the uprising.

I attended the Masterclass ( 2012­2013 ) of Alex Majoli.
After finding a family photo with a relative of mine dress kosacco I discovered that I had worked four years in the Ukrainian unaware of having Ukrainian origin.
my artistic research is based on identity, on the reference to the origins and on oppression and alienation of states such as Ukraine.
