Born 1986 in Meran, Italy
Lives and works in Gent, Belgium
Her work develops predominantly through mediums of video art and installation, often with sculptural and participatory aspects. She explores topics of social alienation and the interplay between humanity and nature.
In her video work she captures aspects of the real world that restitute a sense of magic or illusion. This sense is often visible due to the absence of light, the alternation of light and darkness or the presence of masks.
