Antonio Biasiucci was born in Dragoni (Caserta) in 1961. His was first interested in anthropological photography and the Campania farming community, to which he dedicated numerous works. He moved to Naples in 1980 where he began to work on the areas in the outskirts of the city. In 1984 he began to collaborate with the ‘Osservatorio Vesuviano’, carrying out in-depth documentary research into active volcanoes in Italy. In 1987 he met Antonio Neiwiller, theatre actor and director: the collaboration between the two continued until 1993, the year of Neiwiller’s death. In 1992 in Arles he won the "European Kodak Panorama" prize. Right from the start of his career, the roots of his work have always lain in the issues of Italian and southern Italian culture, and recently have transformed into a journey into the primary elements of existence and personal memory.

Many of his works are included in the permanent collections of museums and institutions, including the Mediterranean Centre of Photography and the National Library in Paris, the ‘Department of audiovisual culture documentation’ in Puebla, Mexico, the ‘Centre of Photography’ in Geneva, Château d'Eau in Toulouse, the ‘Maison Européenne de la Photographie’ in Paris, the ‘Fondazione Banca del Gottardo’ in Lugano, the Elysée Museum in Lausanne, the Civic Gallery in Modena, the Fondazione Banco in Naples, the ‘Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo per l'Arte Contemporanea’ in Guarene (CN), the Freihausgasse Gallery in Villach, Austria, the Italian State Chalcography in Rome, the PAN-Palazzo delle Arti, Naples, and the Unicredit Bank Collection. He has received several important recognitions: the latest for his work Res: Lo stato delle cose, published in 2004, include the “Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Awards” won in London in March 2005 and the “Premio Bastianelli” won in Rome in April 2005.
