Piero Roi, born 1971, is an artist living between London and Madrid and working with photography, video and other media. Through his work he wants to give shape to a retinal persistence that can not vanish, that is retained in a frame, the definitive registration of otherwise ephemeral events.

“But the most serious problem [...] the one with the gravest consequences – remains the duplicity by which light causes us to have confidence in the simplicity of the act of seeing, proposing im-meditation to us as the model of knowledge whereas light itself, out of sight and in a hidden manner, acts only as a mediator, playing with us through a dialectic of illusion.”
(M. Blanchot – The Infinite Conversation)
