Tommaso Fiscaletti (b. 1981) is a photographic artist based in Cape Town. His work explores the connection between humans, memory, and the universe, moving between reality and imagination. In 2016, his project Between Home and Wisdom was presented in a wide exhibition at the Santa Maria Della Scala Museum in Siena, accompanied by a monograph.
The same year, he began working with Nic Grobler on Hemelliggaam or The Attempt To Be Here Now (Hemelliggaam, in Afrikaans: heavenly body), a visual archive of photographs, videos, and installations that brings together images of astronomical observatories, remote landscapes, and inspirations from old local (Afrikaans) science fiction novels.
The project, which took six years to complete, has been exhibited in various South African museums, including the Iziko South African Museum in Cape Town and the Pretoria Art Museum. Today, this exploration is evolving into a book. In 2021, he began collaborating with anthropologist Nicola Perugini on The Skin Underneath. Through photography and public installations, the project examines how citizens perceive the Villa Marina Colony, a Fascist-era building on the Pesaro waterfront (the author's hometown), shedding light on individual and collective stories. His works are part of public and private collections and have been showcased internationally. Fiscaletti has taught photography at IED Milan and currently teaches at the Creative Academy in Cape Town.
