More CLOSE
During the summer I have been mostly working on CLOSE, the project about my neighbours, which I posted some pictures earlier this year. After making contact with about ten of them and focusing in one single portrait, while discovering who they are and what I want from them, I now feel I want to go deeper with a few.
About Me
- VALENTINA SCHIVARDI
- When I was a child I used to dream about awaking in an abandoned town and have free access to anyone’s home. I grew up in a small Italian village; studying art was a way to reach out to wider world. A friend lend me his camera, the first I used it I knew I wanted to become a photographer. After graduating at Bauer School of Photography, I moved to New York where I was a teaching assistant at International Center of Photography. Upon returning to Italy I headed the Photography Department at Falcone Design School and studied cinema at D.A.M.S. University of Literature and Philosophy. During this time I developed my personal projects and I worked for a variety of professional commissions, including Grazia Neri Photo Press Agency. Three years ago I moved to London. My obsession has remained the same: to find a point of entry to another person’s life, to explore my fascination with the world. My last project,”CLOSE: Ewen house” is about the encounter with my neighbours.
