After moving to London Gianluca studied Film & Video production and post production. He worked on BBC and Channel 4 programmes as a set designer assistant and for several film directors as a storyboard artist.
In 2002 he started his own video production. The following years led to collaborations with various contemporary dance choreographers and performers (Rebecca Bogue who performed in the series titled "Under" - 2018, Sarah Dowling, Linda Remhal, Tharan Revfem).

It is around this time that Gianluca's interest in multidisciplinary art projects became stronger, it led to new collaborations (See Cctvylle page as an example). From 2012 onwards he intensified his production of photography-based art works, which he showed in Berlin, London and Italy.

Gianluca exhibited at many Comic conventions in UK (MCM London, MCM Birmingham, MCM Glasgow, Edinburgh) and abroad including Padua in Italy (BeComics 2018).
Back to his visual art production in October 2018 Gianluca presented a brand-new video art called "Under" and 4 large photographs from Ubi Corpus series at the group exhibition curated by Enrica Feltracco, Maxi Sabbion and Matteo Vanzan titled “Amorefolle”.
