Elisabetta Benassi
Elisabetta Benassi (Rome, 1966) is an Italian artist. In her work she critically observes the cultural, political and artistic legacy of modernity, as well as broader, often controversial political and cultural themes of our time. Using diverse media – installation, photography, video – she thus engages and questions the viewer while tracing troubled and contested timelines. From the background of her work emerges a questioning of contemporary identity and of the conditions of the present. Her work has been shown at several venues worldwide, including the Venice Biennale.
She took part in many solo and group exhibitions among: MAXXI Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo (2022/2023); Crypta Balbi, Rome, permanent installation (2022); Panorama, Procida (2021); Galerie Jousse Entreprise, Paris.
