Who I am, a Ramona Zordini's Exhitibion

How many times do we look at ourselves in the mirror without knowing who we are? How many times do we walk down the street without the slightest idea of the reason for our existence? Why is our face what it is? Is our character so unique and unrepeatable? Is our life only the result of our choices? Or are we influenced by our DNA? To what extent are we original people?

Ramona Zordini is a photographer/visual artist based in Brescia. Her photography is delicate and dreamlike, at times brazen and pressing. Her works have been exhibited in spaces such as the Museo S.Giulia in Brescia, the Museo degli Eremitani in Padua, the MACS Museum in Catania, and many others. Her projects have been published in magazines such as Hi Fructose Magazine, Uno Kudo, ZOOM Magazine, and others; she has also lent her work to book covers and film posters. She won the Julia Margaret Cameron 2024 alternative process award, the Analog Sparks Award in the Technique section, and received an honorable mention in the portrait category at the Chromatic Awards 2024.

Her artistic research stems from the photographic medium, immediately imposing the need to eliminate the spatial and mental limitations of square and two-dimensional photographic works; she works mainly on the concept of change, of psycho-physical transformation, attracted more by being marked and modified by time than by the completed process. She uses art to explore her own closed boxes and discover them. In recent years, in an attempt to overcome spatial boundaries, she has combined body photography with sewing, engraving, drawing, and in the last 4 years with cyanotype, which has become her favorite technique.

"I would like the impermeability of things to touch every sensation without occasionally filtering me and stunning me, leaving me imploded to fill a box of discomposed recollections reinvented in my image and likeness."
