Giorgia Piffaretti is a Swiss audio-visual artist. She graduated with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the HKB (Hochschule der Künste Bern), where she mainly worked with video, reflecting on the relation between reality and images. In the following two years, she continued working on independent and collaborative projects. Moreover, she was involved with a group of artists in the organization of a shared Atelier as well as living and cultural space (Schwob-Haus, Bern). Moving across fine arts and film, she participated in several exhibitions and independent film festivals. Her projects are based on an archival praxis, including different media objects, pictures, drawings and moving images. g-p@gmx.ch
