Elena Mazzi (1984) is a visual artist, working with specific geographical and socio-political contexts.Her poetics deals with the relationship between human beings and the environment in which they live and with which they must reckon on a daily basis. This analysis, which often follows an anthropological approach, investigates and documents an identity which is at the same time personal and collective, and gives rise to forms of exchange and transformation. She studied History of Art (Siena), Visual Arts (IUAV, Venice) and Fine Arts (Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm).
In 2015 she started to lead workshops for young artists, teachers and the general public in collaboration with Institutions, Schools, Academies. Elena Mazzi is presently pursuing a practice-based PHD at Villa Arson in Nice.
