Sara Angelucci is a Toronto-based artist working in photography, video, audio, and installation. Over the years her projects have drawn from a range of personal photographs and films—to anonymous and found images. Pointing to histories outside the image frame, her work draws attention to the ways photographs are constructed to tell particular stories, create histories, and participate in memorialization. In her audio works, the human voice through song, mimicked sounds, or spoken word, inserts an immediate sense of human presence and story telling.
Angelucci’s work based in the history of photography – from vernacular snapshots to professional studio portraiture—inform the direction of her research into other natural and social histories. Photography’s material evolution and its shifting social importance provide rich ground for historical interweaving, and inform the range of materials and references that traverse her projects.
Sara Angelucci completed her BA at the University of Guelph and her MFA at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She has exhibited her photography across Canada including exhibitions at the Art Gallery of York University, Le Mois de la Photo in Montreal, Vu in Quebec City, the Toronto Photographers Workshop, the MacLaren Art Centre, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Richmond Art Gallery, and the St. Mary’s University Art Gallery in Halifax. Her work has been included in exhibitions in the US, Europe, and China. Her videos have been screened across Canada and abroad, at festivals in Europe, China, Australia and the U.S. She has participated in artist residencies at the Art Gallery of Ontario, NSCAD (Halifax), the Banff Centre, and at Biz-Art in Shanghai.
Angelucci is an Adjunct Professor in Photography at the School of Image Arts, Ryerson University. She is represented by Stephen Bulger Gallery, and Patrick Mikhail Gallery and PH Neutro in Italy.
