Annaclara Di Biase

Eliza, 2013. Acrylic on paper, 30 cm by 40 cm.

Annaclara Di Biase (b.1977, Turin). My artworks are inspired by the interest that I have in common rituals and their capacity to transform forms. Everything starts with a video recording of a performance act in which the model, that is placed in a neutral space, makes some actions. These actions, made in total isolation, are the symbol of a reflection on some of our everyday habits like getting dressed, eating, dancing and singing. I use dresses as a starting point and transvestitism is the way by which I redefine, in each series, the image of a different woman. Through painting I fix the bodily form that mutates.
