Born in Milan, Italy, Marco Corvo is a multidisciplinary artist who’s work ranges across photography, installation, and social practice. 

He lives and works in a national forest near Boulder, Colorado.

​

Responding to the effects of the digitalization and the logics of extraction, Marco’s work explores planetary thinking challenging a world fragmented and exploited with a vision of a planet made of vital connections and interdependencies, and engages with notions of impermanence, relationships, and leisure.

 

Rooted within the context of the American West, Marco’s practice through both the use of the 19th-century photographic collodion process to make objects and the making of site-specific communal meals shared on Native land, brings to life rituals and rhythms that reestablish a sense of duration, narration, and history.

​

Shifting the perception of objects from inanimate to living organisms, Marco’s images reflect his interest in animist cosmologies and Eastern philosophy, exploring the possibility of a vital breath giving life to objects, the land, and all living beings.

​

The relational aspect of Marco’s practice consists of communal meals that he prepares in collaboration with sustainable farmers and chefs utilizing seasonal ingredients to connect with the rhythms of the land and shares with people from all walks of life.

 

He has exhibited work locally, in Boulder and Denver and internationally

in Sarajevo, Milan and Geneva. 

Recently invited by the Center for Media, Religion, and Culture at the University of Colorado Boulder, Marco gave a talk on critical discourses that inform his practice (2025).
