born 1981

Italian Filmmaker and Video Artist. He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London University (2005-08), and he is currently attending his Master of Fine Arts, specialising in Film Directing, at EICAR, The International Film School of Paris. After experimentation with photography, installation art and performance art, Ceccherini turned to film and video. Treasured Objects is a single   video   projection   concerning  with the significance of objecthood as something placed before the eyes, a physical endorsement and a memorable 

moment of alimenting the becoming of something. Operating as a visual symbolic interpretation, opening the possibility to rethink about the process of reaching a material value, Treasured Objects has significantly been inspired by Emily Dickinson poems: “I cannot want it anymore” and “What’s better, the crescent or the moon”. These two poems offers an insight of the autonomous individual consciousness as a place to produce the act of possessing. Riccardo Ceccherini is interested in the individual desire to reach a material value and identifies this as an artistic field to explore.

Ceccherini is at the present working on the pre-production of his short Film, “The Lucky Charm”, which will be screened at the Cinémathèque Française next October 2010.
