Reaching for the stars
In her artwork Pamela Breda use different methods of visual enquiry, from photography to art books, from video to installation. She explores visual clichés and imaginary tropes connected to specific cultural and social contexts of production and reception, and the generative processes of memory for the creation of meaning, as expressed in personal and collective history. She is particularly keen on questioning the ambiguous status of current photographic practices, and how it creates new modes of apprehension and legitimation.
Pamela Breda
Born in 1982, in Vittorio Veneto (Italy). Lives and Works in Venice.
In 2012 she received her MA in Visual Arts from IUAV University and she was visiting student at Essex University, Colchester Institute, UK.
Her work has been exhibited in international venues in Venice, London, Santander, Salzburg, and in institutions such as Karlsruhe Kunsthalle, Fondation Francois Schneider, Fondation Botin, Fondation Bevilacqua La Masa and Venice Architecture Biennal, Italian Pavillion.
Her main area of research is focused on cultural visual tropes and traditions, on the contingency of the artistic process and on its multiple outcomes. She analyzes western imaginaries connected with culturally and socially-engaged contexts of production and reception.
Starting from the analysis on the relationship between powers and knowledge and between artwork and the narrative fiction implied in it, she researches the visual-cognitive values ascribed to the contemporary image exploited as a narration.
