VALENTINA MIORANDI (Italy, 1982). "Vergangenheitsbewältigung, 2009. Photograph. Print on PVC, copy 5/7. Signed, dated and justified on the back. Size: 140 x 105 cm. "Vergangenheitsbewältigung", translatable as "coming to terms with history", brings to mind the widespread phenomenon of countries' efforts to come to terms with the national and international past: political scandals, military defeats, crimes and misdemeanours that have to be dealt with. The artist reflects on the role played by the media and images. An artist specialising in the multimedia context, Valentina Miorandi has been participating in the project Neverending Cinema, and exhibited at the Galleria Civica in Trento. She worked in several collaborations with the artists' collective known as Zimmerfrei, as well as with Marinella Senatore, Rosa Barba and Stefania Galegati. The freedom of action and the sarcastic character of Valentina Miorandi's work have led her to participate in group exhibitions such as the European Art Biennale - Manifesta 7 (2008), No Soul For Sale in New York (2009), at the MADRE Museum in Naples (2009), Castello di Rivoli in Turin (2010) or at the Cultural Institute in Belgrade (2010).
