In her installationsof light, sound, color, and images, whichfrequently use cinema tographic techniquesand the idea of the ‘expanded cinema’of the 1970’s, she questions vision and theprocess of reception.Angioletti expresses her interest inrelations between external and internal,mental spaces as well as invisibleand unconscious processes, and how theyinfluence and change one another.She often leaves a free visible space in herprojections, functioning as a ‘placeholder’,as a proposal to project one’s own‘inner vision’. She tries to draw the viewerinto a meditational experience, by usingcertain color effects, film-loops or multipleprojections.Meris Angioletti was born in Bergamo,Italy in 1977, and lives and works in Paris.In 2012, she participated in the São PauloBiennale and was featured at the VeniceBiennale in 2011. She was also nominatedfor the Future Generation Art Prize in 2012at Kiev’s Pinchuck Art Center.
