Hugo Mapelli explore un langage visuel à la frontière des mediums traditionnels et de l'expérimentation.
C’est dans sa chambre noire, à Paris, qu’il matérialise ses images en combinant des procédés historiques et des outils contemporains.
Qu’il s’agisse de film ou de photographie, avec ou sans pellicule (photogramme / vidéogramme), il fige les ombres, détourne les procédés et nous donne à voir un corpus graphique, riche en couleurs et en matérialité.
Les abstractions et les photographies de mode se côtoient dans une vision artistique singulière.
Sa production photo et vidéo s’articule entre projets personnels, éditoriaux, expérimentations et commandes.
Hugo a notamment réalisé des séries mode pour des magazines tels que Numéro Berlin, Wallpaper, Port Magazine, Twin, Noisé Magazine, The Week et Harper's Bazaar Italy.
Pour des projets commerciaux, il a déjà collaboré avec des maisons de renommée internationale telles que Aesop, Cartier, Chanel, Chloé, Dom Pérignon, Hermès ou Louis Vuitton.

Hugo Mapelli, a Parisian fashion photographer, distinguishes himself by an experimental approach to the medium.
From his sibylline compositions - on the edge of pictorial movements - spring new colours and assemblages that feed the singularity of his art.
