Gino Battiston is an Argentine photographer and filmmaker working across analog photography, hybrid photography, video art, and cinematography.,His analog work uses wine as a developing agent alongside multiple exposures and optical negative layering, while his video art incorporates glitch effects and analog sound synthesis.
In 2024 his series Rhizomancy was shown at the Máximo Arias Photography Space in Mendoza's Parque General San Martín, comprising large-format prints developed using Malbec wine from the Gabbarini vineyards as a developing agent, rooted in Andean winegrowing traditions.,The resulting images evoke Andean roots and regional geometries, with the wine's coloration of the paper producing unrepeatable, monotypic prints.His photography and video work has been presented at institutions including the Marcelino Botín Foundation, FRI-ART Centre d'Art Contemporain, the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, and the Presley Norton Museum in Ecuador, as well as at NFT-focused events such as NFT.NYC and NFTLiverpool.
His NFT video series Sacred Shout is a glitch art documentary following a man named Claudio who, after his father disappeared during Argentina's last military dictatorship, confronts psychological breakdown and is repeatedly visited by the voice and apparition of an Indigenous spirit, prompting a journey through his hometown and capital. The series was shown as part of the exhibition “Bad Glitches Only”, presented by Superchief NFT and NFT Rome.Other works draw on philosophy, including Corps Sans Organes #1, which takes its title from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of the Body without Organs, the self stripped of the social and psychological structures that constrain it.
