Viridiana (Barcelona, 1990). As a Spanish mother and Italian father, she had spent her childhood living in different cities between Spain and Italy. Her father was an amateur documentary filmmaker and introduced her to the world of images, music and documentaries. She has been interested in capturing her surroundings from a very early age, at 12 years old, she started filming the family trips with a VHS camera from the 2000s.

Everydayness has always been the main subject of her work, even before she was aware of what she was doing. Later, at the age of 16, she switched to analog photography where discovered the vocation of static images. Her work has been featured in publications such as METAL, Wül, I-D or Apart among others.

In 2011 she moved to Montevideo, Uruguay, to finish her studies in film direction. During this time, she continued filming and documenting her life, obsessed with Jonas Mekas’s, Naomi Kawase’s or Chris Marker’s movies. After two years, she moved to Rome working as film assistant to finally return to Barcelona determined to focus full-time on photography working in fashion and personal projects.

She works on film, using different cameras and formats as a way to experiment and discover different effects, but technique has never been a premise in her work. Her photography is composed of frames of emotions, personal and intimate moments, metaphors, nostalgia and over time as the cornerstones of her work.

Photography gives her a sense of her own life and the passing of time, moments you’ve lost and will never happen again, memories of places and people that will never be the same.

She just published her first book, Pogo, an emotional and earthly dialogue where you can connect typical youth situations to something more generic relative to the passing of time and arbitrariness of life.
