Vincenza de Nigris and Valentina Leonelli at Kiosk SC Gallery Zagreb

Italian photographers Vincenza de Nigris and Valentina Leonelli are showing for the first time in Zagreb, Croatia. Through their work, they question contemporary social issues such as identity, family relations, and the search of balance.

Vincenza de Nigris tells us a story through self-portraiture. She confronts herself with found family photographs and re-stages similar situations in the present with herself as the main character. By researching her mother’s past, she wrote her own autobiography.

Valentina Leonelli’s carefully composed photographs depict the condition of the human being, always longing to find a balance. The author uses her own body and the photography medium to capture and freeze the moment of perfect balance in space.

This exhibition is part of the Kioosk photography platform Offline series, curated by Sabina Damiani.

Vincenza de Nigris and Valentina Leonelli at SC Gallery Kiosk, Zagreb, Croatia – through November 22^nd 2015.
