“I’ve never been interested in reproducing reality but sometimes my imagination is real”

 

Giulia Mazza is a photographer and visual artist based in Bologna.

In 2000 she won the “Corriere della Sera” scholarship at the Italian Photography Institute in Milan, from which she graduated in 2002.
Her visual language delves into the confused relationship between reality and subconsciousness, paying particular attention to the perception and interpretation of identity.
Fascinated by dressing up and the powers of narration that it brings, she often uses self-portraits with the sole intention of using them as a technical tool for creating personalities.
As well as photography she works on graphics and video.

 


I like to work on take-away DREAMS
