Claudia Corrent on Photography, Memory, and the Ambition to Capture the Invisible
Claudia Corrent, a photographer from Bolzano born in 1980, spoke with Davide Dal Sasso about her unique artistic vision. She believes photography goes beyond just capturing images; it's a process that can challenge our perceptions. In 2023, she was a finalist for the Premio Terna and placed third in the Premio Siena. Corrent sees photography as something fluid and paradoxical, distinguishing it from the concept of an image, which she thinks should guide and clarify. Her work focuses on reality, prompting viewers to notice overlooked aspects. Corrent’s pieces have been featured at prominent locations like Rome’s MAXXI and Palazzo delle Esposizioni, and she collaborates with various publications while leading workshops at several institutions.
