The series "Drawing Air" has been realized by the artist between 1995 and 1996. In these photos the artist captures objects in the suspension of a throwing to the sky. Over these years he focused on artistic procedures centered on chances and instants, working on the concepts of “contemporaneity” and “randomness”. In 1997 he was given the first prize for art photography by the prestigious International Center of Photography in London.

Davide Mosconi  (Milano, 1941 – Milano, 2002) was an Italian painter, designer and musician. He studied at the music conservatory “Giuseppe Verdi”, in Milan. In 1961, he moved to London where he studied photography at the London College of Printing, then he moved to New York where he worked as assistant of Richard Avedon and Hiro. From the artistic point of view, his debut was classified as anti-design. Collaborating with Ugo La Pietra and the Global Tools group (which he founded in 1974), he was close to the radical experimentation of the Fluxus current of Milano Poesia (Milan Poetry). In 1968, he came back to Milan where he exhibited with “Il sogno di Davide”. During the 1970’s, he founded Studio X, a photography studio for fashion and advertising projects. In 1972, he exhibited with the short film “Something to Believe In” at the important exhibition “The New Domestic Landscape” realized at MOMA, New York. His works have been displayed in prestigious institutions and galleries all over the world, such as the National Gallery in Brussels, the I.C.A. in London, the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice, the Venice Biennial, the Rayburn Foundation in New York, and Galleria Milano, among others.
