Cédric Dasesson (born 1984) is an Italian photographer who develops a predilection for the study of the territory and the contemporary landscape. He uses photography as a means of research, identifying a path of analysis and reading of space, reading changes in the territory and sensitizing the places he observes.
His works have been part of international exhibitions and exhibitions, being part of collections of institutions such as MUFOCO (Italian Museum of contemporary photography), MiBACT (Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism), Nivola Museum, University of Cagliari, Biennale di Pisa, Falía*, as well as private ones.
He combines his photographic practice with teaching, from 2016 to 2018 at IED (European Institute of Design) and in 2022 at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Cagliari.
With his vision of the sea, skimming the coastal landscape by levels: underwater, from the ground and from the sky, wins the call at the Banco di Sardegna Foundation, publishing his first autobiographical book. Later he developed together with Sardarch and the Conservatorie delle Coste (Sardinia Region) a photographic project on the mapping of the coastal territory exposing the work at the Festival of Architecture in Cagliari.
Another topic of great interest is the analysis of urban and rural territory. In 2019 he is one of the ten artists selected by MUFOCO and MiBACT for the development of the Atlante Architettura Contemporanea with whom he publishes “10 viaggi nell’architettura contemporanea” and exhibits at the Triennale in Milan and at the Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Altemps in Rome.
Realizes projects of identification of the built through the artist’s residence Falia*.
Works integrated with urban plans of various Sardinian municipalities with Sardarch describing the historical characteristics and those of the main actors, the population; through different photographic campaigns.
Observe the territory built with the Architetture Liberate 3.0 together with the University of Cagliari.
His main publications include Level (AB Factory + Banco di Sardegna Foundation), Di notte il mare non dorme mai (DUNP) and Costellazioni (Falía*).
