ELEONORA PACIULLO Italian, b. 1993
Overview
Eleonora Paciullo
Born in Turin in 1993.
She lives and works in Nice.
Eleonora Paciullo is a visual artist, photographer,
book designer and photo editor for
The Light Observer magazine. Her practice unfolds through ins-
tallations that combine photography, video-performance and
sculpture, exploring the way individual narratives and
collective memory evolve, intertwine and rewrite themselves over the course of
time.
She is particularly interested in the processessus of transmission, personal mythologies and territoires, whether real, imagined or virtual. Trained in editorial design and visual communication, she develops a hybrid visual language combining analog techniques, archives, found objects and digital environments. In her series This is L.A. (2021), presented
at the Circulation(s) festival in Paris, she re-enacts the memories of a fictional trip to Los Angeles by photographing images from video games such as GTA V and L.A. Noire, captured with a
film camera. The project creates a tension between memory and fiction, materiality and virtuality, mental images and simulated representations.
