About
Robert Casella is a writer of experimental literary fiction whose work explores societal collapse, identity, trauma, and the grotesque poetry of modern life. His style blends hallucinatory interior monologue with biting satirical humor and structural innovation. Robert's poetry has been published in the journals Fiction International, Exquisite Corpse, ZYZZYVA, Journal of Experimental Fiction, and his poetry and photography will soon be published in the journal Writer's Block.
His screenplays, Noon to Nowhere and Pound Dog, are currently making the rounds in major screen writing competitions.
Robert is a visionary documentary photographer, often capturing the shot that most people would overlook as mundane, where Casella sees beauty.
​
“For me, photography is not a means by which to create beautiful art, but a unique way of encountering genuine reality.”
-Daido Muriyama
His art is in the medium of collage, exploring surreal and often ludicrous juxtaposition. His work is often a humorous commentary on the American fantasy created by Madison Avenue and the real life, gritty, and corporeal conditions in the world.
