About

Hello, my name is Davide Nerini. I am an art historian and freelance project coordinator focusing on photography, digital cultures, and print design.

I am currently Research associate at the Swiss Institute for Art Research and at the Prints and Photographs Division of the Public and University Library of Lausanne, Managing editor at Transbordeur Journal, and PhD Candidate at the Centre for History of Culture of the Lausanne University.

I’ve also coded a few scripts and websites, including this one.
