Artist Statmen / Bio

I started photographing as a teenager, as a way to find myself in a very conservatory society, Italy. Art gave me the space to find myself, ask myself questions about our shared humanity and the nature of our feelings. When I was 19 I moved out my mentally ill mother’s apartment, moved to Copenhagen and attended Fatamorgana, school of art and documentary photography. I started working at the same time as a studio assistant and darkroom printer for Jacob Aue Sobol. At the end of my studies I travelled for 4 months in Russia, today this journey is about to become a book, Tell My Love Now. 

Afterwards I have been working for the New York office at Magnum Photos, raised 10k USD with a kickstarter campaign to fund my next project in Mexico, where I travelled for 10 months.

I returned to Denmark and became a mother of 2 alongside I am the art director for my husband, Jacob Aue Sobol. We produce new work and raise our children on a small island, southern of Denmark.
