Lia Monguzzi
Photographer
Lia Monguzzi is a multidisciplinary artist whose work ranges from photography to painting, from animation to video art. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Film Studies from DAMS, University of Bologna and a master’s degree in Cinematography, Goldsmiths College, London.
Working in various departments within the film industry has allowed her to see from the inside the diversity of approaches one can have to narrate a story or convey a message.
Her way of storytelling focuses on existentialism, nostalgia and contemplation – on themes such as the relationship between man and nature (or man and God). Rather than giving an answer, she likes to think that her images subtly interrogate the viewer, leaving space to introspection. They don’t meticulously describe an environment, a situation or a person, but stimulate a feeling. From her perspective, photographs are memories which can be translated into dreams and new worlds. The photographer offers an hint, draws the structure of a perceived reality, but the image is there to be shaped through the observer’s eyes and imagination, to be filled with meaning.
