Ego Nauta aka Bruschi Mauro, born in 1979, experimented with photography and studied as a self-taught photographer. He honed his technique from his father, who was passionate about industrial and religious photography. His main influences come from painting, literature and music. Artists such as Edward Hopper and Alessandro Papetti, writers such as Raymond Carver and Cormac Mcarty and musicians such as the Hammocks and all ambient post-rock music.
Ego Nauta's photography is observed through self-analysis in an attempt to describe states of anxiety, loneliness and silence that have characterised part of his life.
He has produced photo books kept in book crossing points and installations in the same places where he has shot.
