Bio
LAURA FERRO
As an interdisciplinary artist, she makes use of photography, video and writing, which, together with her research of photo, archaeological, and epistolary archives, constitute the body of her work. Her family legacy, her background in psychology and the territory as a limit are some key elements necessary to understand not only her art practice but also the processes of her thoughts and work.

Statement
As an interdisciplinary artist, she makes use of photography, video and writing, which, together with her research of photo, archaeological, and epistolary archives, constitute the body of her work. Her family legacy, her background in psychology and the territory as a limit are some key elements necessary to understand not only her art practice but also the processes of her concepts and work.
In this series, Laura Ferro investigates the relationship between reality, the unconscious, and the ephemeral. Her works seek to blur the boundaries between these worlds, inviting the viewer to question their own interpretation of reality. Where the tangible intertwines with the ephemeral, between the imaginary, symbolic, and real, inviting the viewer to look beyond the evident.
