Bio Iula Antonia Marzulli
My work is based on the manipulation of organic matter with the use of basic technologies such as sound amplification and the use of video. In the last two years my research has focused on the observation of nature, through the creation of intertwining branches, photography with natural grafts, sound exploration. Actually I’m also deeply involved in training activities, developing theater and performing art culture and reading courses.
