Daniele Ansidei lives and works in Berlin.

His research focuses on the anthropological role of contemporary architectural photography, seen as a means for investigating emerging social and cultural dynamics. By departing from what is considered to be an emblematic subject within its social infrastructure, he develops mid term and long term projects, where photographic images are usually the final outcome. Based upon this premise, his subjects are often places and situations where cultural and symbolic architectures emerge and are shared, thus emphasizing on the emblematic character of urban environments rather than highlighting formal and functional aspects of their architecture.

Early in his photographic education, Ansidei attends Francesco Jodice’s Fine Art classes at the Libera Università di Bolzano. He then completes his studies with an MA (Diplom) and a Postgraduate (Meisterschülerstudium) at the Leipzig’s Fine Art Academy in Prof. Heidi Specker’s and subsequently in Prof. Joachim Brohm’s classes.

Ansidei’s work has been shown internationally in group and solo exhibitions, among others at venues such as:
