Moira Ricci

Moira Ricci’s research has often centred on a network of autobiographical references. She is interested in themes such as the formation of individual and social identities, family history, the concept of home and land, and the special human bond that is forged with it.
She enjoys blending technological innovations with discourses on popular imagery. She believes that, in order to recount a personal event as well as local history, it is necessary to adopt a holistic approach to address the vast reality of existing fragments and individual pieces.
Ever since she was a child, images have been the simplest tool for expressing her inner emotions and perspectives, as opposed to words. Images, in fact, are for her the most direct translation of what she intends to say. Photography, video-making and installation are her visual tools.

Moira’s work has been exhibited worldwide in museums and galleries, such as MAMbo - Bologna, mostra personale (2026); MUNAF - Museo Nazionale della Fotografia, mostra personale (2024): Palazzo di Lorenzo, Gibellina, Italia(2019);Museo Nazionale della Fotografia Marubi, Scutari, Albania(2018); Galleria Gaia, Istanbul, Turchia(2017); 16° Quadriennale D’arte,Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Roma, Italia(2016); La Triennale, Milano, Italia(2016); Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Londra, Inghilterra(2016);Museo della Fotografia Contemporanea/ Spazio Oberdan, Milano, Italia(2015);Associazione Culturale Dello Scompiglio, Lucca, Italia(2014); Galleria d‘arte Lee Ahn, Daegu, Seul, Corea del Sud(2014);Song Eun Art Space, Seul, Corea del Sud(2014); Futuro Centro per l‘Arte Contemporanea, Praga, Česko Slovensko(2012);KunstaSpekte, Italienische Kunst Heute-V.
