Oristano, Italia 1991

La mia ricerca si concentra sul significato dell’immagine nei contesti quotidiani in cui essa si palesa. Ottenute attraverso il mezzo fotografico o recuperate da fonti esterne – come libri o materiale on line – le immagini vengono integrate e agiscono all’interno di installazioni e performance. Assumono un ruolo attivo capace di mettere in moto e determinare processi che intendono ripensare al legame tra i linguaggi dell’arte e ai modi di agire del quotidiano, alle forme note, a quanto di già esistente e familiare. //
Oristano, Italy 1991

Her research is focused on the meaning of the image in its daily context. Photographs and found images from books or online archives are integrated and act within installations and performances. They take an active role capable of starting and determining processes in order to reconsider the bond between art media and everyday habits in life.
