[Profile]
Elisa Marchesini (Dutch / Italian, 1983) is a visual artist. She graduated with honours from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2006 and is based in Amsterdam. Marchesini's working methods can be compared to that of a modern-day anthropologist: deconstructing and unravelling existing frameworks mainly connected to the representation of fashion. Working in a wide range of media, i.e. installations, photo series and performances she investigates the various relationships between body-space-time-garment, and questions protocols within the mechanisms of production and presentation in fashion. Her work is presented simultaneously in art and fashion related environments, such as the Arnhem Fashion Biennial, Amsterdam International Fashion Week, Milk Gallery New York City, Zendai Museum of Modern Art Shanghai and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
