Silvia Mantellini Faieta (born in 1992) lives and works in Pescara, Italy.
Her artistic research questions the connection between people, and how this connection is influenced by our biological and collective memories.
Our collective and biological memory, the idea we have of ourselves, others, the space in which we live, and aggregations rituals affect the connection between us and others.
Words, sounds, and images are the basis of coexistence and are fundamental to creating dialogues, sharing, and progress.
Every human being has those elements to create his reality confirming that every human is a creator, an artist.
Involving different kinds of communities and groups of people, and embracing inner speeches, her artistic research shows social experiences as a simple representation of the eternal changing of life in a continuous dialogue with our own spaces. Using moving images and words, referring to specific human conditions (in choosing participants of my videos and my actions), this representation lets emerge the emotional and spiritual dimensions creating a real connection with the world in which we live and within us.
