Bio
Fabian Albertini is an Italian artist based between Reggio Emilia and Rio de Janeiro.
In her research Fabian Albertini uses installations and photographs to explore existence and perceptions.
Fabian focuses on reflection, moving more than the simple observation of works, creating issues on our way of thinking, changing the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
To date, her works has explored the complex of consciousness creating performances interpreted by contemporary dancers inside the environment, the relationship between man and environment through dialogues between art and spirituality, focused on daily transformations, using digital interventions and exploring different materials to give to photograph new possibilities.
