Christian Pardini (Pietrasanta, Italy, 1987) is an independent graphic designer and photographer. After studying Industrial Design with a specialization in Exhibition Design at the University of Florence, he developed a practice that brings together graphic design, photography, and editorial research. Since 2022, he has been part of the Clemente–Pardini duo. His photographic research focuses on the visible and invisible structures that shape space and influence the way we move through and observe it. His work has been exhibited at institutions, festivals, and venues dedicated to contemporary photography, including FMAV – Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, Cardelli&Fontana, the Festival of Landscape Documentation and Narrative in Cuneo, DiecixDieci Festival, and the Museo e Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Locri Epizefiri. His photographs have been published in L'Espresso, Fotocrazia, and in Terræ Aquæ 2. L'Italia e l'intelligenza del mare (Electa). Among his recent projects, Limo, developed with the Clemente–Pardini duo, was selected for Terræ Aquæ, the exhibition project of the Italian Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Interno Zoo received a Special Mention at the Urbanautica Institute Awards, was shortlisted for the Fotofabbrica Prize, won the Andromeda Open Call promoted by APS ULTERIORE, and was exhibited at Casino Macrì, Museo e Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Locri Epizefiri. The photobook Interno Zoo was also selected for Immagina – International Festival of Visual Publishing.
