About Loredana Denicola

Loredana Denicola took a degree in ‘Economics’, spending some time in the corporate world before moving to London in 2010. In London, at Central St Martin’s College, University of the Arts, she graduated with a certificate in ‘Photographic Professional Practice’. Then she completed her training in the rough and tumble school of professional freelance press photography, and as a paparazzi, for three years. In 2014 the camera became an essential of exploration, for capturing and revealing the invisible — driven to probe human nature’s depths by an urge for self-discovery, through connection and conversations with strangers, met either online or on the street. She became interested in ways of thinking, feeling and acting, which we, as humans, tend to have naturally — yet which we sometimes repress, causing pain and dis-comfort both internally and for those around us. As the ‘act of using the camera’, photography becomes almost ‘performative’: a live process, where art is realised at the instant of encounter with another human being, and the photographs produced are merely documentation of that encounter. The observer becomes the observed, and the mirror, the person reflected. In these reversals and equivalences, Loredana’s art practice becomes an investigation into the power of trust in human relationships. Since January 2018 Loredana Denicola is an artist members of Action Hybride, a collective of international artists based in Paris. All members are definitely engaged in the theme of the body. The purpose of the collective is to take care of interviews, screenings, exhibitions and art performances, meetings, reflections concerning the body and the human condition, with the participation of a multidisciplinary and international group of artists, mainly in Paris, but also abroad.
