Pierluigi Ciambra is a visual artist born in Palermo in 1978. He currently lives and develops his projects in southern Italy. Graduated in 2002 from the photography course at the European Institute of Design in Rome, he later graduated in Theories and Practices of Anthropology with a thesis on Visual Anthropology entitled "Ethnophotography - Research with and on Images", at La Sapienza University in Rome (2006). He has always been fascinated by photography and believes it is the best way to tell a story, investigate reality and express his own point of view on the world. All his projects start from inner motivations and the pleasure of knowledge. His work not only explores his personal history by relating it to the historical and territorial context but also addresses the themes of identity, memory and belonging. He believes in slow photography, allowing him to develop long-term projects, describe a subject in depth, and create authentic contact with people. In 2013, he started a project in which he describes through photography the process of her daughters' growth, family dynamics, the development of identities and their different personalities. In 2023, this family diary, thanks to the publishing house 89Books, became a book entitled Lullaby and last goodbye. His work has been published in various magazine and exhibited in Italy and Europe.
