Giovanni Gastel Photography

"Giovanni Gastel's static scenes provide an alluring and unsettling glimpse into private spaces characterised by poetic irony and balance"

"Combining minimalist design with voyeuristic angles, audiences are invited to measure and compare different modes of domesticity in the works of Giovanni Gastel. Each living room is a hive of conceptualised activity"

" Milan-born Giovanni Gastel first has contact with photography in the 1970s, which truly began to take shape in 1981 when he was introduced to the world of fashion, collaborating with the likes of @vogueitalia and @mondouomo. Ritratti di Living plays upon flattened shadows and deep colours, providing an emotional backdrop for the lifestyles advertised."
