Carola Bonfili

’s work is structured in multi-layered narrations that develop towards mixed source texts. AI principles, CGI, VR a/v environments and automatic writing are the main tools of her recent research. A performative matrix is often found in the production processes at the basis of her sculptural works and environmental installations, which are immersive in nature and tend to forms of transmedial narration. Her work was presented in various institutions both in Italy and abroad, of which: MAXXI, Rome; La Triennale di Milano; Milan, Italian Institute of Culture, Los Angeles; The Ludwig Museum, Budapest, GNAM, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, MAMbo Museum, Bologna, American Academy in Rome, Palazzo Mocenigo Museum, Venice, MACRO, Rome. She has received various prizes and awards, including the 2022 Italian Council 11th edition, the 2020 Re:Humanism Prize, the 2011 LUM Prize; the 2008-2009 Rome Prize and the 2009 Strozzina Prize, Florence, while also participating in residences at the American Academy of Rome (2009) and MACRO, Rome (2012). Works of hers in public collections include those at MAXXI Museum, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Farnesina Collection and the MACRO Museum in Rome. Since 2004 she has been working with NERO Editions, with which in 2011 she began publishing Names of Numbers, a series of monographic books on drawing.
