Con.Tatto:
Con.Tatto is an artistic group born in June 2011 from the powerful
need of two artists, Francesca Leoni and Davide Mastrangelo, to give shape to
their professional and artistic experiences in the world of video and
performing arts.
Their work speaks for their poetic intentions to
develop a dedicated investigation of the human soul of the contemporary everyman, living a relation with himself
as well as the external world, through performing and visual language where
these artists let their energies run free to accomplish an authentic and
physical artistic act.
Con.Tatto employs videomaking and photography as
artistic and expressive tools.
