curated by Silvana Turzio
Amandine Piomelli-Nabarro was born in Bordeaux, France, lives and works in Paris, Los Angeles and Genova. The knowledge and passion for photography comes from his father, a photographer and printer. In 1995 she moved from Paris to California, where she was heavily influenced by West Coast artists. She begins there her experimentations on artists' books through the use of rare paper sorts, such as Japan paper prepared by hand. Her research leads immediately to the paper surface and to a careful design of the visual storytelling and so the final structure of the object book. Her works arise from a so complex project that involves both the tactility and gaze that create the photographic work. The end point is a line between paper-book form and narrative content, necessary conditions for a good shaped and balanced. All her work is therefore structurally different from the others. Over the past ten years she exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, mainly in the U.S.A. Her works are part of private and public collections, including the New York Public Library, the University of California-Los Angeles Special Collections. His last photo exhibition, Unseen Worlds, was held at VisionQuesT gallery of Genoa
