Valentina Vannelli
Photographer
Valentina Vannelli is an Italian photographer based between Paris and Tuscany.
In 2018 she obtained her master’s degree in Photography and Contemporary Art at the University of Paris VIII with honors and now she continues her artistic research in the photographic medium.
Through experimental alteration of film, hybridization between analogue and digital photography, drawing and video, she tries to question memory space-time dimension and the limits of visibility. On the border between document and fiction, she explores the photographic medium as a metaphor of a territory: a mental space in the field of memory repression affected by socio-political issues and human neurosis.

Larry Sultan / SwimmersPublication 2023“Painterly and impressionistic, filled with movement and gesture, Swimmers is Larry Sultan’s most instinctive and unselfconscious body of work.
