Information

Valentina Murabito’s latest exhibition, La donna del mare, invites viewers to explore the deep connections between mythology, nature, and the human condition through her intricate photo-sculptures. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s play The Lady from the Sea, Murabito reinterprets themes of freedom, longing, and instinct, blending them with Greek mythology and political philosophy. Her innovative analog photography technique creates three-dimensional, surreal artworks that blur the line between fiction and reality. What role do ancient myths play in our understanding of modern existence?

About the artist

Valentina Murabito

VALENTINA MURABITO

Born 1981 in Giarre, Italy
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany

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. 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.
