ALESSANDRA GUTTAGLIERE
Pushing the language beyond, to spark like a river
Art makes life perceivable to the sense
BIOGRAPHY
Alessandra Guttagliere lives the spirit of art, the spirit of art according to the education received, and the experience she makes, is expressed in the daily work on colour, sound, materia prima, meditation, voyage. The vehicle for that is the poetry, and also the aim. What moves the poetry is the harmony between life and the vitality of her gaze.
Alessandra Guttagliere is a fine artist and a troubadour.
Scenographer, photographer, poet, her magnetic, calm and humble-face art is the resulting pearl of her practice of expanding languages, classical and contemporary, drawing and poetry, transmutations of flowers and photography, constantly beyond sense, favouring flashes of inspiration
She is an adventurer of words, ancient mystical arts, and places. More interested in verbal scenography, graduated with a study about the poetry transmigration from a language to another or from a person to another, her work has been visible at MAXXI, (photography and poetry, Italy) Triennal Design Museum, (photography and poetry, Italy) with Fabbrica Europa at Tunis and Florence national archaeological parks and museums, (visual art, performance) at the Pavillon des Canaux as tarologue in Paris where in 2015 she created Tarot Poétique, her mindset to the Tarot reading and teaching.
As scenographer she signed the short movie winner of the David in 2015 and in the same year she signed the full-length movie winner of the RIFF. As costume designer she designs silk wearable artworks for Anthologie Bleutenlese, contemporary dance in Munchen, in 2020. In the same year she is chosen by Sarah Moon for the Prix Picto de la Photographie de mode, and exposed in Paris at Palais Galliera.
In 2021 her photographic work is the object of an anthropologic research at the Columbia University in New York.
From 2019 she creates a secret Flying rose garden and mediterranean flower garden for her inspiration and art row material. She also cultivates all vegetables and fruits for her family supply.
In her art emerges the focus on the unity of life, poetry and art, and the focus on freedom. She is inspired by words that she consider magical, sings and sounds, the landscape, passages, the invisible things, and universal stories that are intagible cultural heritages of human being.
[…]The artist is an explorer. So she wants to investigate the act of fusion with the place. In addiction she is interested in the creation of a cultural heritage of the place made of habits, rituals and daily life[…] Rosita Ronzini, curator.
