Born in Padua in 1980, Valter Casotto is an artist and visual arts professional with an eclectic background that spans film, television, and personal projects.
He has collaborated on numerous television productions as a camera operator and format creator, distinguishing himself for his creativity and versatility. In the film world, he has established himself as a senior prosthetic makeup artist, working on internationally acclaimed films such as Harry Potter (directed by D. Yates), X-Men: First Class (M. Vaughn), Prometheus (R. Scott), and The Hobbit (P. Jackson).
Alongside his film career, Casotto has pursued a personal artistic journey, exploring the potential of video and sculpture. Among his most significant projects is We Will Never Meet at that Age, in which he created a self-portrait depicting his own aged face, transforming it into a mask applied to himself. He then documented his parents' reaction upon encountering this future and impossible version of their son, creating a moving work that reflects on themes of time, family, and the perception of identity.
This work represents a deeply moving temporal fracture, capable of intertwining personal intimacy and universal reflection.
