A graduate of the Vevey School of Photography (Switzerland) in 1989 and of the École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris Cergy in 2016, Graziella Antonini attempts to capture, to suggest the traces, the marks, the signs of what is not, of what is no longer, of what is not yet.
For Graziella Antonini, photography "is being somewhere in body and elsewhere in thought."
His work combines portraits, landscapes, interior scenes or close-ups of objects where reality is not always distinguished from fiction, where the moment can take shape in an unreal and melancholic time, where the here sometimes merges with an indefinite elsewhere to compose universes with multiple geographies.
“Over time, and more and more, I began to photograph nature. People disappear from my images. They sometimes reappear fleetingly, as if to say that despite appearances, there is still someone. We find traces of human beings everywhere in nature, even when it seems wild. Perhaps especially when it seems wild.”
Varying the frames, mixing different shooting techniques, Graziella Antonini obtains materials and renderings which differ according to the images, each one nevertheless inscribing its singularity in a coherent whole.
