​And then the Windows failed and then I could not see to see

2016

Chandra Fanti was born in 1982 in Terni, Italy. She spent her childhood and youth in a small village in the center of Italy. Daughter of a painter, she immediately developed a passion for drawing and painting. She graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, in 2009. During the Academy's years, she developed a profound interest in the work of Antonin Artaud, Gilles Deleuze, Francis Bacon, Gina Pane, Franko B, Louise Bourgeois. In 2010, she moved to Berlin to deepen her research and in 2012, she began to shape the first rooms, where the figure of the horse appears. The horse is a hypersensitive armor, a sort of Trojan horse where she hides to enter into her feelings and her memories. The digging process goes through the personal experience, using personal feelings to gain access to ancestral feelings, to the roots.
