Independent artist, author of 12 monographs; over a thirty-year\u2019s quest around the human figure, Fiorio\u2019s Works question the interrelation between presence and vision. Here photography does not replicate that which is seen, it is a luminous signal disclosing that \u201cthere<\/em>\u2015is<\/em>\u201dwhich vision withholds. From 2000 to 2010 with the project The Gif<\/em>t Fiorio explored ritual expressions of Sacred over 38 countries around the world. The book, The Gift<\/em> has been granted the Patronage of UNESCO in 2009. Ongoing since 2010, the project Humanum, <\/em>disclosing the transfiguration of sculptural appearance in light\u2019s variations, reconsiders our perception of the archetypal figuration in ancient human statuary, contemporary to our time and in anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project in progress since 2010, Fiorio has collaborated with Ca\u2019 Foscari University, Venice; Scuola Universitaria Superiore Sant\u2019Anna, Pisa and worked so far at the National Archaeological Museum and the National Acropolis Museum of Athens; the Louvre Museum of Paris; The Iraq Museum of Baghdad; the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien; the National Archaeological Museum of Cyprus in Nicosia; the Egyptian Museum of Cairo; the Royal Commission of Al-Ula at King Saud Museum in Riyadh; the Jordan Museum of Amman. And the Al-Thani Collection in Paris. Humanum<\/em> has been presented for the first time at the College de France in 2018, hosted by Victor\u2019s Stoichita European Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the frame of this project, the presentation-work around the Sumerian masterpiece, the Lady of Warka<\/em>, realised by Fiorio in collaboration with Lucio Milano from Ca\u2019 Foscari University, received the Italian Commission\u2019s Patronage of UNESCO in 2016. Works have been thereafter on display at the Iraq Museum of Baghdad (December 2017 to May 2018) with the Patronage of Italian Ministry of Culture and Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and they are currently in a permanent display at the National Museum of Samawa, nearby the site of  the ancient city of Uruk (Al-Warka) from which the statuary belongs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
