Nicolò Degiorgis

Nicolò Degiorgis (born 1985) is an Italian visual artist, publisher, photographer, and curator.

[2] Hidden Islam (2014) documents the struggles of Muslims living in an Islamophobic environment in Italy between 2009 and 2013, where 1.35 million of them had only eight official mosques.

Degiorgis photographed the makeshift buildings where Muslims practiced their religion and prayed.

The photographs are categorised into two groups: black and white exteriors of these locations (sorted into eight types, such as warehouses, shops and supermarkets) unfold using gatefolds to present color photographs of the Muslims typically praying within half of them.
