Valentina Ferrandes
Born in Italy, now based in London, media artist and designer Valentina Ferrandes (b.1982), draws on the rich classical southern Italian cultural heritage and pre-Christian, Mediterranean imagery. Inspired by history, art, literature, contemporary and archival found footage, environmental recordings and documentary video, she creates 3D animation and CGI films. Through these, she explores themes and issues of displacement in relation to collective identities and her cultural and geographic heritage.
Ferrandes’ works have been screened internationally at festivals such as Visions du Reel, European Media Art Festival Osnabruck, DokuFest Kosovo, Cairo Video Festival, Rencontres Internationales, Alchemy Moving Image Festival, MACRO Rome, 5th Moscow Biennale and Bardo National Museum.
