Laura Fiorio (1985, Verona, IT) is an artist working with photography, installation and relational practice. Her projects, developed through choral narratives, interact with existing archives and materials, questioning the power dynamics embedded in the editing process of images as memories, their institutionalized use and hence their critical and subversive potential. She has worked with participatory and multimedia photography in social projects, especially with imprisoned, disabled and homeless people. Currently she is a research fellow in Decolonizing Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm.
