Valentina Murabito (born 28 September 1981 in Giarre, Italy) is an Italian photographer and visual artist. Her photographic works are a hybrid between different art forms merging in experimental analog photography.
Early life and education
Valentina Murabito was born in
Artistry
In her pictures, Murabito creates "in-between-creatures" that do not fit into any determined category, hybrids between man and woman, human and animal. She plays with gender roles and questions the term of identity.[2]
She experiments with analog photography, for instance, by dissolving the photographic surface in order to mold it like a skin or break it like dry earth.[3] The artist develops her photographic work manually on baryte paper, watercolor paper, wood, steel, concrete and walls. Her works open up a dialogue with painting and sculpture.[4]
Murabito’s aesthetic references the research of photography pioneers like Eadweard Muybridge.[5] Her works try to surpass the boundaries of photography by questioning their relationship to reality. Like R. Hanselle wrote in fotoMagazin, they are “enchantment and transcendence.”[6]
Exhibitions and collections
Murabito’s works are displayed at the SpallArt collection in Salzburg, Austria[7] and other international private collections. Her works were exhibited throughout Europe by the Klosterneuburg Monastery, Delizia Estense del Verginese, the Hungarian Academy Rome and the Municipal Museum Rosenheim.[8]
