Giuliana Borrelli (b.1990) is an Italian photographer living in Bergen, Norway. She studied a BA in Photography from the University of Westminster, London and an MFA at KMD, Bergen. Working primarily with analogue photography and text, her practice is rooted in autobiographical narratives exploring intimacy and notions of home. Through staged imagery, she examines loneliness, memory, the passage of time, and identity.
I work primarily with analogue photography, with a focus on darkroom printing. In the
past few years, I have started working with text, short reflections, poems, and journal
entries.
I am interested in photography as a means of both introspection and extrospection, as
a way of slowing down and entering a parallel reality where time feels suspended.
Working with analogue, I am drawn to its slowness, materiality, and the necessity of
waiting. The tactile process keeps me connected to something enduring, in contrast to
the immediacy of technology.
My work examines the concept of home, the attachments we form to places,
interpersonal relationships, and the interplay of memory and time. By photographing
the same spaces or objects across different moments, I explore how perception,
memory, and events shape our experience of the present. Through staged imagery, I
examine what it means to have a space of my own where I explore memories, objects of value, and elements of comfort.
