Giorgia Garzilli

b. Naples, 1992. 

She completed an MFA (Work Master) at HEAD-Genève in 2018 and in 2020 she attended the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles. Her work has been exhibited at: Lovay Fine Arts, Geneva (2024); Triennale Milano (2023); zaza’, Milan (2023); Fondazione Morra, Naples (2021); MACRO – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma (2021); Palazzina, Basel (2021); Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples (2021); and Villa Romana, Florence (2019). In 2024, her work is presented at CAC-Brétigny, Brétigny-sur-Orge; Museion, Bozen; and zaza’, Milan.

Garzilli’s work tries to open up a door through places located somewhere beneath the earthly surface or deep down in the subconscious suddenly overflowing into everyday life. Pointing to the desires and expectations evoked by film, fashion, and popular literature, her work expands the limits of seeing by offering contradictory but surprisingly complementary perspectives.
