Untitled (The Asylum Seeker)
Italy
2019
Untitled (The Asylum Seeker) presents the asylum seeker as an individual. The exhibition set-up aims to deconstruct the systematic labelling that western societies apply to migrants. Beyond the filter, the purpose of the series is to unveil a new interest for these human beings, who currently live like ghosts among us. Designed as an immersive experience, Caterina Lorenzetti’s work explores these issues more broadly through a sort of art laboratory linked to the notion of “home”, and experimented through a group of male migrants from Africa and Afghanistan.

About the artist
Born in Santa Margherita Ligure in 1994, Caterina Lorenzetti has grown up through USA, Spain and Italy. She then moved to Paris where she graduated in Photography at L’Ecole de l’Image, Les Gobelins. Adapting herselfand evolving in several cultural places helped her to develop a deep and unwaveable interest in identity, self-awareness and local belonging. Some of those values are constantly reemerging along her artistic writing.
