Margherita Muriti has been fascinated by photography from a very young age. More specifically, she enjoyed family photographs and collected them, praising the anonymous subjectivity of the individuals represented there, as well as the infinite other possible identities for those people given by that same anonymity.
The working process is of extreme importance to Muriti. From the first seminal thought to the concretion of the image, she thinks, ponders, researches, reads, writes to create what she calls her eye-filter. Once it is there, she almost compulsively photographs whatever the filter lets in. Then, she sits on her bed, her île, and does the choosing. The artist’s extreme sensitivity to her surroundings and her Italo-Catholic identity conflicts create in her images almost esoteric aesthetic nuances. Also, Muriti’s work does not limit itself to the photographic medium; she also creates installations using a wide variety of materials, some being more noble than others.
