Antoine D'Agata
Edit ProfileCareer
D'Agata's work deals with addiction, sex, personal obsessions, darkness, prostitution, and other topics widely considered taboo. He often uses his own life experiences as source material. "My intimacy is linked so much to my work, and my work depends so much on my intimate experiences of the world.
It’s all intermingled." D'Agata left France in 1983 to start a series of travels. He has published more than a dozen books and three films. In 2009 Tommaso Lusena and Giuseppe Schillaci released a documentary film about D'Agata called The Cambodian Room: Situations with Antoine D'Agata.
