Simona Ghizzoni's photographic trilogy on Sky Arte
Simona Ghizzoni is the subject of the latest episode of the series Le Fotografe, airing on Sky Arte on Monday, July 5. Her visual language originates from self-portraiture, organized into series: Aftermath explores the instinctive and visceral aspects of women; Rayuela intertwines portraits with botanical elements; and Rêve Géologique references the earth. This trilogy reflects human existence, while Isola, a project set in the Apennines of Emilia, examines humanity's relationship with the world. Ghizzoni also discusses her eating disorder history evoked by the series Odd Days, which earned her third place at World Press Photo 2008 and an award at Photo España 2009. She further addresses her interest in performance arts, reportage, and her commitment to defending women's civil rights.
