Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli's Unconventional Practice and Upcoming Liberia Film Project

artist · 2026-04-20

Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli, a Rome-based artist, operates through what Harald Szeemann termed 'individual mythology,' developing projects over extended periods using performance, photography, sculpture, drawing, and film. His recent exhibition 'Reperti per il Prossimo Milione di Anni' (2007–9/2012) marked his first solo gallery show, establishing his hyperintensive working method. Tribbioli studied philosophy and lacks formal art training, aside from assisting his grandfather, the Roman artist Gianfranco Baruchello. His practice is driven by complex, self-sustaining systems of thought with a classical frame of reference. Forthcoming projects include a film in Liberia, which carries significant personal risk. The artist is noted for his disciplined and hardworking approach, creating contemporary mythology through methodical documentation.
