Erika Pellicci

ERIKA PELLICCI (Barga, Lucca, 1992), vive e lavora tra la Toscana e Berlino
Erika Pellicci si è dapprima laureata in Pittura all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, per poi conseguire un master in Fotografia all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna nel 2020. La sua ricerca si concentra sulla relazione tra corpo e spazio, utilizzando l'esperienza performativa come testimonianza della realtà. Il mezzo principale che utilizza è la fotografia. Collegando il tempo e la vulnerabilità del presente, il suo lavoro si spinge nell'esplorazione di schemi relazionali intimi familiari, spesso legati al gioco e l'identità.

Erika Pellicci first pursued a bachelor’s degree in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence before obtaining her master’s degree in Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 2020. Her research focuses on the relationship between body and space, using the performative experience as a testimony of reality. The main medium she uses is photography. Connecting time and the vulnerability of the present, her work goes further and further into the exploration of intimate and familiar relational patterns, often related to playfully linked and identity.
