Bio


Ramona Zordini is an Italian photographer/visual artist. Her photography is delicate and dreamlike, at times brazen and pressing. Her works have been exhibited in spaces such as the S.Giulia Museum in Brescia, the Eremitani Museum in Padua, the MACS Museum in Catania and many others. Her project has been published in magazines such as Hi fructose Magazine, Uno kudo, ZOOM Magazine and others, she has also lent her work to book covers and film posters. She won the 2024 Julia Margaret Cameron Award in the Alternative Process category and received an honorable mention in the Portrait category at the 2024 Chromatic Awards.

Her artistic research was born from the photographic medium, immediately imposing the need to eliminate the spatial and mental delimitations of square and two-dimensional photographic works; She works mainly on the concept of change, of psycho-physical transformation, attracted more by becoming marked and modified by time than by the completed process, often an actress of her own work, she uses art to explore her own closed boxes and uncover them.

In recent years, trying to overcome spatial boundaries, you have combined body photography with cyanotype, a truly fascinating technique.

“I would like the impermeability of things to touch every sensation without it occasionally filtering my being and stunning me, leaving me imploded to fill a box of re-enactments decomposed and reinvented in my image and likeness. The term is ambiguous, the place is ambiguous, the gesture, the thought, your eyes lost inside a him without entrance, it is an eternal moment of transition, nothing is like yesterday, the filter needs to be cleaned.”
