Giorgia Severi

Giorgia Severi is a multimedia italian artist, working on environmental and landscape issues. Her work is based on archiving disappearing landscapes, which includes natural landscapes as well as cultural practices related to the landscape itself. Subjects of her research are melting glaciers, deforestation, global warming, climate change, environmental contaminations, invasive species and endangered species, which she investigates through scientific data, as well as traditional and cultural meanings related to the place and its history. Giorgia Severi works with sculptures, installations, drawings and paintings, video and sound field recordings, working into the environment where the important part of the projects happens. Works on paper and canvases are often on big sizes to include and to involve the viewer into a different perceptional concept of the space-landscape, in a not contemplative way.
