Biography
Some of the following information and the accompanying photographs were found stored in the computer left in the room where Bart Omeo disappeared.
Famous photographer of the strange (he preferred to describe himself as "gothic"), Bart Omeo was readying an important restrospective of his work to be shown in the Paris catacombs this autumn.
A secretive man, we know that he was born in the Piemont mountain area, but not not exactly when.
For the last ten years Bart Omeo has visited hotels around the world, researching "portals" that lead to different planes.
Madman? Visionary? Charlatan? Bart Omeo and his work have both been influences by exceptional experiences he had in Roumania, Scotland, the Arctic and Brittany…
Everyone remembers his frightening and fascinating exhibitions in extraordinary places such as volcanic craters (Vesuvius, 1986), prehistoric caves (Padirac, 1994) and basements of famous buildings (undergound lake of the Paris Opera, 1989).
His work is very rarely shown on the web.
