Gian Maria Tosatti (Roma, 16.04.1980)  is a visual artist. He founded and directed the group Hôtel de la Lune.

First steps were made in 2002 at the Centre for Research and Experimentation Theatre of Pontedera working on performances. In 2005 Tosatti moved to Rome to undertake an artistic research between architecture and visual arts which inspired all subsequent works resulting in site specific installations and photography.

In addition, two projects came out of this: Devozioni and Landscapes, undertook in collaboration with Fondazione Volume!. The first is a cycle of ten works for specific architectural spaces, the second is a project of public art in areas in which acts an urban conflict.

As well using various abandoned sites and locations, Gian Maria Tosatti [Hôtel de la Lune] has also designed works for cultural centers such as Angelo Mai, Rialto Santambrogio, Capitoline Museums, CIAC – International Center for Contemporary Art, Monumental Cemetery Verano, Crotone Harbour and Teatro India.

Gian Maria Tosatti is currently working on two new projects, Fondamenta, based  on the identification of contemporary age archetypes and Le considerazioniu sugli intenti della mia prima comunione restano lettera morta, dedicated to the  traces left by the human crisis state.
