Antonella Zito, classe 1988.
Antonella Zito nasce in Puglia ma, attualmente, vive a Breda, in Olanda, dove lavora grafica pubblicitaria, fotografa e video maker. Le tematiche trattate dall’artista si ispirano alla psicologia e alla sfera del singolo individuo per
contestualizzarlo, successivamente, nella società e nell’ambiente all’interno dei quali si definisce. Antonella Zito descrive i suoi scatti come “Staged Photography”: un genere che richiede una considerevole cura dei dettagli e che ricrea situazioni e ambienti vissuti attraverso un approccio introspettivo. L’artista si specializza anche in video arte, facendo leva sugli stessi principi utilizzati nella fotografia: reale e surreale si fondono in un insieme unico che rende alquanto difficile discernere cosa è vero da cosa non lo è. La produzione di Antonella Zito è stata esposta in gallerie, fondazioni, musei e festival in Italia ed Europa.
