Sachen @ Rome Art Week

Sachen

An eclectic artist, she creates sculptural installations using various elements (fabrics, yarns, plastics, metals, and natural materials), focusing on the transformation of materials over time and the study of the relationship between humans and nature.

Data and contact details

In the early years of her career, she experimented with the use of body and voice in theatrical and sound performances. She studied and practiced specific artistic composition techniques, integrating floral materials and sculptural elements of her own creation (following the Japanese Free Style tradition of the Ikenobo school).

Her artistic path expanded with the creation of sculptural installations where the artist uses and reworks fabrics, yarns, recycled plastics, metals, and natural elements.

Later, she focused her interest on experimental photographic research aimed at exploring a natural and/or urban microcosm. From this, she draws inspiration and visual material that she reworks using sculptural and installation techniques.

She deepened her research through the study of life drawing applied to the creation of sculptural compositions.
