Filippo Venturi is a documentary photographer and a visual artist based in Italy.
He produces personal projects concerning identity and the human condition.
He has documented totalitarian dictatorships in Asia, highlighting in his work the artificiality with which these countries display and narrate themselves to the world, and has witnessed neo-fascist currents in Europe and the movements that, in response, fight to protect minority rights and democracy.
His works have been published in leading international magazines, such as National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Newsweek, Geo, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Stern, Internazionale, La Repubblica, Il Corriere della Sera and La Stampa.
His works have been exhibited in Italy and abroad in exhibition spaces and festivals like Foro Boario in Modena as "New Talent" of the Modena Photography Foundation, MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome, Somerset House in London, U Space in Beijing, Willy Brandt Haus in Berlin, Sony Square in New York City, Copenhagen Photo Festival, Kaunas Photo Festival, Voies Off Awards at Les Rencontres d'Arles, Photolux in Lucca, SI Fest in Savignano sul Rubicone, Riaperture Photofestival in Ferrara, PhMuseum Days Photo Festival in Bologna and Festival of Ethical Photography in Lodi.
In 2023 he began working with text-to-image artificial intelligence software. He was one of the artists selected by the PhotoVogue Festival, an event where he was also a speaker with a speech entitled 'Broken Mirror. A dystopian guide to crossing the border".
