Giulia Iacolutti (Italy, 1985) visual artist and photographer.
After earning her MA in Economics in Arts, Iacolutti studied photography and video at the Academy of Teatro alla Scala in Milan. She moved to Mexico in 2014, where she graduated in Photo-Narratives and New Media at the Fundación Pedro Meyer, lived and worked until 2018. Over the past few years she has focused on her personal and participative art projects, exploring socio-political issues related to identity resistance and its struggles. In addition to photography, she employs different media and techniques (embroidery, drawing, text, audio and video) to enhance communication and understanding through different levels of perception.
Her work has been exhibited in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Spain, the United States and Switzerland and has been published in national and international newspapers including National Geographic, La Repubblica, L’Espresso, Vice and Gatopardo. She was nominated for the Joop Swart Masterclass 2016/2017 and the Foam Paul Huf Award 2018. The book Casa Azul won in 2020 the Marco Bastianelli prize as best artist book. The project will be displayed at PAC “Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea” in Milan in November 2021.
