A spontaneous process between the body and an ideal, almost imaginary, evanescent place, where space and time expand and inner walls blur.

Anna Parisi began her photographic journey during a 2013 trip to India. Traveling worldwide, she uses both portrait and self-portrait as tools for dialogue, knowledge, and discovery. Her work explores the relationship between matter and the body, focusing on change, memory, and identity. Through poetic, surreal self-portraits, she investigates the visible and invisible. Since 2019, she collaborates with INFN Turin on a science theatre project and, since 2022, with dance therapist Luisa Spagna. In 2023, she completed an eight-month mentorship with photographer Simona Ghizzoni.

Awards In the past five years, Anna Parisi’s work has been featured in numerous international exhibitions and festivals. Highlights include group shows such as “Mother Nature - Mother Earth” in Agrinio, Greece (2025), “Citrus 2025” at MIF Museum in Sardinia, and “Tracce Ferme” in Rivoli, Italy (2025). Her project “Viento” was showcased at NARNIMMAGINARIA Festival and Fotografia Europea (2024). She received an Honorable Mention in the Self-Portrait category at Px3 Paris (2024) and was a finalist at the IPIC One Shot Contest (2020). Her photographic explorations of ritual and self-portraiture during the COVID-19 lockdown were featured in multiple collective exhibitions across Italy (2021–2023). Earlier recognitions include awards at Px3 Paris (2019) and winning the portrait category at the “Cibo in India” photo contest (2017).
