TERESA ANTIGNANI AND SARA TERRACCIANO

Teresa Antignani (1991) graduated in painting at Brera with Alberto Garutti and continued her studies in sociology in Rome. She lives and works between Milan and the province of Caserta focusing on socio-political themes.

She is an eclectic artist, using various means of expression ranging from collage, to the assemblage of discarded materials, to large narrative pictorial cycles in which there is always a reference to the sacred and to the tragic nature typical of certain cultural expressions of southern Italy.

Martyrion is her latest performative and photographic project with the photographer Sara Terracciano. Through activism and protest in defense of the territory, Teresa is recounting the environmental havoc and biocidal abuses in Campania.

Sara Terracciano (1990) moved to Naples in 2016 where she completed her two-year specialist degree in photography and began her first long-term project in the Rione Sanità: InSanity Faire.

She learned to recognize light by photographing the bodies of women in the neighborhood. Over time her work has taken shape, looking for in an 'image the ability to invite self-telling.

From 2019, in parallel to her personal projects, she began working as a set photographer in film, performance and theater.

In 2020 she began the project Martyrion together with artist Teresa Antignani, photographing industrial realities in relation to the female body.
