The woman with the movie camera - on a horse.
I use myself as a guinea pig to investigate primal instincts, desires and fears and their influence on our daily life. I am interested in the narratives we build to make sense of our world and in the games we play in the attempt to find comfort. In my work words, images and sounds create a multi-sensory counterpoint that is at once soothing and disturbing. I was born in Rome and I live in Chicago with an orange cat.
