BIOGRAPHY

Born in Taranto in 1993, after graduating in Cultural Heritage, she attended the Master's in Photography and Visual Design at NABA, Milan. Subsequently, she graduated with honours in Digital Cultures at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. Her works have been exhibited at Les Rencontres de la Photographie Arles (FR), Fotofestival Lenzburg (CH), Copenhagen Photo Festival (DK), Rotterdam Photo Festival (NL), PhMuseum Days (IT), Geste Paris (FR), Giovane Fotografia Italiana (IT) and others. In addition, her work has been recognized by IPA - The International Photo Awards with an Honorable Mention in Fine Art (2023), Der Greif 15 x Paris Photo (2022), Edition 365 by the British Journal of Photography (2021) and others. Recently, she has been selected as one of the Futures Photography Talents by Der Greif. She also won the Critics’ Choice Award by LensCulture (2024).

Claudia Fuggetti's research sees the creation of images as the endpoint of a visual investigation balanced between the real and the unreal, intending to propose new reading keys to interpreting the contemporary. Going beyond the pure objectivity of the visible, through photography, video and digital painting, she creates alternative and possible worlds, which become a mirror of human tension towards the future and technology. The image, constructed or captured, becomes part of a subjective view that analyses new perspectives and scenarios, enriched by personal use of colour and different mediums that coexist with the photographic practice.
