Following initial studies at the ESA Le Septante Cinq in Brussels, Massao Mascaro studied photography at the Blank Paper School (now Dinamo Visual Lab) in Madrid, graduating in 2016. At the crossroads of autobiography, topography, and politics, his work revolves around place and the notion of territory: the Calabria of his ancestors (Ramo), the streets and parks of Madrid (Jardin), and the coast of the Mediterranean (Sub Sole). He is currently preparing the publication of Sub Sole with Chose Commune. The Fondation A Stichting, which supported the creation and production of this work, will present it in the fall of 2021 in an exhibition curated by Fannie Escoulen.
