Swiss artist Luciano Castelli expressed himself in a great variety of different media over the course of his career. He began posing for the camera in the early 1970s, acting out every conceivable facet of himself.
As an actor he assumes the most diverse roles, inventing himself in his photographs as colorful figures in utter disregard of gender distinctions: an androgynous mythical creature, a glam rock diva or a commedia dell‘arte character. His virtuoso, surreal self-portraits are of an undiminished vibrancy in their playful eroticism and darkly narrative thrust.
