DESCRIPTION
In each of us there are measures where revive places that surround and overwhelm us. These are shapes, that change with the changing of the state of our soul, emotions and testify implacable correlations between our subjectivity and the world where we reflect and live in. An intimate space rich in multiple symbolic meanings that it’s a reflection of our psychic identity. We have different ways to establish borders, protection and contact points with the world outside and other people. Each person has a different way to live within their own walls, leaving traces of themselves and their passage. Sometimes it’s not possible of not belonging to the lived spaces that generate interior frustrations and points of non-contact. Therefore aseptic places, circumscribed and suffocating places are born in which every place can give a particular force to stimulate different feelings: the journey becomes the best way to step out of ourselves, to connect with the world and to explore spaces which are activated in the ego, to trigger our feelings, thoughts and stimuli, that push ourselves towards a deep understanding of the surroundings. Our spaces, therefore become our “psychic skin”.
AUTHOR
I am Antonella Zito, a multidisciplinary artist originally from Italy. My work is deeply rooted in psychology, exploring the delicate tension between the individual, society, and the environment.
I specialize in Staged Photography, where I meticulously reconstruct lived experiences and characters. My process is an introspective journey turned outward, creating cinematic scenes where reality and surrealism often converge. This same philosophy guides my video art, blurring the lines between the tangible world and the subconscious.
My career has been defined by a global presence, with works exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals across Europe and Asia—from the Louvre Museum in Paris to the Arsenale of Venice and Baoneng First Space Center in Shenzhen.
Selected Recognition:
2025: 2nd Place | Exibart Prize N5
2023: 1st Place | Fine Art Photography Awards, London
2022: Finalist | Arte Laguna Prize, Venice
2021: Gold Winner | TIFA (Tokyo) & MIFA (Moscow)
2018: 1st Prize | Arte Mondadori, Palazzo Reale, Milan
My pieces are also held in the permanent collection of the Museum Allotropya in Greece.
