Valentina Fusco

Valentina was born in Genoa in 1982.

After 10 years as a commercial photographer, she felt an
evolution of her visual vocabulary. In 2019 she moved to Buenos Aires where she began using this transformation to explore issues of gender, memory, and identity.

Her long-term projects are inspired by poetry and literature,
steeped in the magical realism that pervades Latin America.
Her works often act as a kind of psychoanalysis as she explores social issues such as immigration and patriarchy.

• Emptying one’s self to make space for the unknown is just the beginning of this process. Searching for the essential and the beautiful found in everything which does not please us. Project: Lo Sagrado.
• Uprooting from the known nurtured a desire to attempt to understand the most intimate, emotional, and multifaceted meanings of migrating. Project: eMovere.
• Currently, she explores masculine anti-patriarchal movements in Latin America, aiming to create new visual narratives in juxtaposition to gender stereotypes. On going project: Efecto Mariposa.

She is co-founder of “La Settimanale di Fotografia”, a cultural association created to develop and deepen all things visual through meetings, exhibitions, cinema, workshops, and performances.
