About Laura Visigalli

I graduated in Architecture at the Politecnico of Milano after graduating from the Istituto Statale d'Arte in Monza, where I had my first approach to photography.
Over the years, my activity as an architect has been increasingly accompanied by an interest in photography.
Since 2008, with the purchase of a digital dsrl, I started experimenting with photographs and images, starting from the places and people in my private sphere. My images arise intuitively, in a virtual territory such as landscapes and faces reflected in glass or on the surface of water, which are transformed through the lens into an inhabited place.
My interest is directed towards everything that at first glance seems to be hidden from view.
The human figure, often represented through portraits, is a central part of my work.
In recent years I have also turned towards reworking photographs, both taken by myself and by anonymous authors (postcards, vintage images found or taken from the family album).
I have participated in group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad (including 'Skin Filters', 'Self', Bristol 2014; Milan 2011; 'RPS 158' London 2015; 'Feminine Declinations', Rome 2022).
