Annalisa Pisoni Cimelli, photographer and visual artist, takes us on a journey through the memory of the skin. Through his work, she explores the concept of skin as a guardian of memory and the past, an epidermis that changes and transforms, revealing the intimate plots of our existence.
With a careful and penetrating look, the artist dwells on the first contact, on the folds of the hand or the closed fist, transforming them into landscapes and maps that can be inhabited and explored. Her works become a sort of other existence that returns to the origins, inviting us to ask ourselves who we are and what we remember about ourselves.
In her artistic research, she’s not limited to a single medium, but embraces painting, photography and often the combination of the two techniques. The moving images and videos express their stories and intuitions with different forms, offering us macro visions where the body and skin become textures of a primordial silence, an ancestral memory that goes beyond words. Through her work, Annalisa Pisoni Cimelli invites us to explore the mystery and beauty of our skin, and to reflect on the deep connections between the body, memory and silence.
Lives and works in Genova, Italy.
