Elena
Lacco Ameno (NA), 1997
She is an artist, educator, and cultural mediator.
In her research, the role of photography is central. Each shot is a fragment, a moment of what remains for her: the reflection of the space in which she is immersed. The world she perceives is fluid and dusty, and every time the sun passes through it, her eyes fill with splendor.
She has exhibited her photographic works at the Archaeological Museum of Naples, at the 8th Biennial of Young Italian Photographers, at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, and in various public and private venues in Campania and beyond.
In 2022, she specialized in "Art Education and Cultural Mediation of Artistic Heritage" at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, and in 2023, she obtained a Master's degree in "Cultural Mediation and Educational Services Management in Museum Contexts" at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples.
In 2017, she lost her home due to the earthquake that hit the island of Ischia: from that moment on, she engaged in a visceral research on the sense of dwelling. She creates educational projects to try to bring the population affected by the earthquake closer to greater self-awareness and their own feelings.
In 2022, she created the Sentimental Archive of the Earthquake, a website to share and communicate the sentimental heritage linked to the trauma of the earthquake.
She looks at the small things of the infra-ordinary in the deepest way possible, seeking beauty every day: in this way, every day is astonishing.
