Lisa Carletta is a Belgian Director and Photographer based in Milan. She completed a Master in Fine Art at Royal College of Art in 2017 where she developed digital work and 3D animation. Recurring themes in her work are often taken from her personal life, in which memories of her own experiences take a central role, revealing common human insecurities and anxieties.  Lisa’s work fabricates a fantasy world where nothing is what it seems. 

In 2017 I created DotPigeon, an artistic project that uses Instagram as a platform. Inspired by pop culture, politics, icons and trends of the moment, the idea behind my artworks remains the same: to twist images in order to create simple and comprehensible messages executed in a clean and visually satisfying way. The account reaches more than 40 thousand people and my works have been published by several online magazines, Instagram pages and newspapers (Forbes, ItsNiceThat, Fubiz, Popmyeyes, UrbanContest, Freeda, Designyoutrust, Designtaxi, Cnn, Darlin Magazine, Collater.al, Il Messaggero, Trendland, Picame Mag and many others).

Bianca Felicori is a PhD candidate at UCLouvain with a research Fellow (ASP - Aspirant) fellowship of the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS. Together with Professor Beatrice Lampariello she carries out her research with the aim of demonstrating the confluence of artistic and architectural experimentation born in Europe and America between the 1960s and 1970s. She graduated at the Politecnico di Milano with a thesis on history of architecture dedicated to the intersection of architectural and artistic thought between 1965 and 1976, a topic read in relation to the publications of the critic Germano Celant in the magazine “Casabella”. She has curated exhibitions and cultural programs collaborating with institutions such as Triennale (Milano, Italy) and she wrote for magazines such as “Domus” and “AD”. She recently published the book Forgotten Architecture (Nero Editions 2022).
