Andrea Ferrari was born in 1970 and today lives in Milan, where he studied philosophy. He describes his photographic practice as an investigation of language across abstract and figurative themes, and over the last decade has concentrated on four bodies of work: "Wild Window" (2007-14), "Hidden Paper" (2010-15), "The pictures included in this envelope" (2012-13) and "By Means of the Sun" (2015-20). Ferrari's work is held in numerous public and private collections, and his books include The pictures included in this envelope (2013).
