Antonella Bussanich

Artista
Firenze, Italy
Biografia

“Introspection, projection, connections that human beings have with themselves, with their peers and with everything that surrounds them are the subjects of reflection in my artistic research since the beginning. Today that psychoanalysis has revealed the influence of external stimuli in shaping our psyche, that epigenetic has shown us how external stimuli can even modify the functioning of our DNA and biology understood how the living organisms collaborate more then compete for making the life happen; it seems to me even more evident that the type and the quality of relationships between us, us and other living beings and the whole environment should be a priority”

Her work is composed mainly of video and video installations but also of photographies, live performances, and installations. Her education includes arts, photography and communication. She travelled a lot in africa and in easter and western countries. Today she lives in Florence after more then twenty years in France and two in USA. Her video self-portrait “Myself” is part of the Self-portraits Collection of Uffizi Museum, Florence. The artist is interested in exploring private and subtle moments based on silent, quiet relationships with strong emotional content.
