Short Biography
I am Luca Locatelli - an environmental visual storyteller.
My work aims to open a debate about the environment and our future. I have been working by synergizing art, science, and journalism to explore the world’s most promising solutions to the climate crisis for more than a decade. As an artist, I translate complex scientific data into visually engaging images and distribute them on social networks, publications, and events.
My work has been published in international media such as National Geographic, The New York Times, and TIME. It has also been displayed in prominent global venues, including the Guggenheim Museum of New York, the Shangai Center of Photography, and others.
In addition, for over two years, I have been working on a significant and immersive cultural project concerning the Circular Economy with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which the Gallerie D’Italia Museum of Turin, Italy, will exhibit as a worldwide premiere in September 2023.
Since 2004 I'm a founding partner of a non-governmental association that contributes to protect 600 thousand hectares of tropical forest in the Amazon.
