Ex voto (detail) Installation

Giulia Berra was born on the 3rd of April 1985 in Cremona (Italy). She lives and works in Cremona. "Contemporary Art loves great dimensions, immersive installations, interaction, display, grandeur. I reserve for me another glance. Close, tactile. Insects, galls, chrysalises: little fragile things, something to look with respect for, without touching. It's a familiar dimension, but not intimate, like if we returned to the real beginnings of Natural Sciences reformulating questions in another way.I don't like private tellings behind the works, or gender speaking. When I compare myself with Nature I'm not a woman but a human being. I investigate empty spaces, mutations, fluctuations, trying to understand their borders. I study processes, biological cycles and their interactions, their limits. The insects she use are taken from old collections, or I have found them dead in Butterfly Oasis or in Nature" If you want to contact me: giuliaberrante |at|
