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 Mcarthy and musicians such as the Hammocks and all post-rock music.
Ego Nauta's photography is observed through self-analysis in an attempt to describe states of absence, loneliness and silence. He has made photo books that are kept in book crossing points and installations in the same places where he has shot.
