Biography

To travel through places, to make them her own with a glance (whether a photograph or the immaterial glance of video), to seek physical and emotional contact with space, to redefine the non-place and time with her presence alone. These seem to be the objectives of Michela Pozzi’s work, which is divided with balance and harmony between photography and video, both of these media being geared toward affirming the sentimental and existential content of reality, in space as well as in memory.

In fact, the artist carefully stages genuine sentimental habitats in places that are certainly significant but often not frequented by contemporary society. The glance of the camera thus crosses a green house or the stage of a theater. It contemplates the space before a religious aedicule as well as a mysterious opening in a rock. It ponders the physical and spiritual presences of a garden and the melancholy atmospheres of a pond. Michela Pozzi artfully recreates all these spaces as small microcosms of feeling, “temporary areas” which poetically extend the human possibilities of habitation.
