Francesco Gioia is an artist working with photography and collage, born in 1991 and based in London. His collages are made from newspapers and magazines from the 1920s to the 1960s, and from illustrations, catalogues and scientific journals. He cuts and layers the fragments by hand and then photographs the result.
His street photographs have been published in The Guardian, The Washington Post, la Repubblica, Vanity Fair and NZZ am Sonntag Magazine, and he is a contributing photographer for ZEIT Magazine. His photograph Woman in Red was used on the cover of the 2025 reissue of Jean Echenoz’s Les Grandes Blondes (Les Éditions de Minuit).
He has published two monographs: 57 (Parallel Editions, 2023) and We Have Learned to Distrust Images (Void, 2026), which places his street photographs and collages side by side.
