Valentina Murabito

Born 1981 in Giarre, Italy
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany

In her pictures, Murabito creates "in-between-creatures" that do not fit into any determined category, hybrids between man and woman, human and animal. She plays with gender roles and questions the term of identity. She experiments with analog photography, for instance, by dissolving the photographic surface in order to mold it like a skin or break it like dry earth.
