Aminta Pierri. Taranto, 1983

​

Devoted in particular to the concept of mould as a matrix, her artistic research focuses on this device as in reference to a gesture which is a trace of the sensitive void between form and representation and which acts in the present.

The imprint, as well as in a territorial exploration, serving to choose where to go rather than to represent a sort of nostalgia, is used to shift the reflection on how much individual and social memory influences the perception of identity.

By undermining the idea of a photographic series and a visual correspondence with something that can be classified in a univocal way, the use of different narrative levels and the introduction of contrasting materials tend to the reconstruction of a minimal circus of meaning, of a place that became a condition.

​

After academic studies in semiology and intersemiotic translation, she trained in photography by building a practice that intersects the use of the medium with the manipulation of archive images, 

objet trouvé, Hermetic and Orphic poetry, and audio elements.

In 2014 she published the work L’unghia del Leone with Witty Books publishing house in Turin, starting from then a production that flows, both in the form of the art book and exhibition, into the return of small 'memory theatres' in which time represents an event and photography an emotional and intimate state.

​

She lives and works in Rome and Apulia.
