Erika Pellicci: The Intimate Video Portraits of a Young Italian Photographer

other · 2026-04-27

Giulia Vannucci profiles young photographer Erika Pellicci (born 1992 in Barga, Lucca) in the series 'Video Ritratti d'Autore'. Pellicci's work evolves from a painterly embryo to a mature artistic concept, using every artistic tool to capture seemingly incomprehensible moments. The article emphasizes the emotional core of photography—the thrill of the darkroom, the belief in one's creation—as the unifying thread of the video portrait series, which documents the intimate and personal stories of various Italian photographers. The piece also promotes Artribune's newsletters: 'Incanti' (art market), 'Render' (urban regeneration), and 'PAX' (cultural tourism), as well as its WhatsApp channel and daily 'Lettera' newsletter.
