Michele Sambin – ARTIST

Director, musician and painter carries out research on the relationship between images and sounds, examining forms with the help of various expressive and technical methods/modes; cinema, music, video, painting, theatre. From 1968 to 1977, he realizes some experimental films and participates at international events (Film Studio, Knokke Heist, Le Rochelle e Beaubourg). As of 1974, the videotape becomes his principal instrument with which he realizes performances, often musical, installations and tape. In 1980, with Pierangela Allegro e Laurent Dupont, he establishes the TAM theatre-music – financed by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism – where he is responsible for directing, scenes and music.
