Laura della Gatta

Rome 1967. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Steiner teacher with experience in art therapy, teacher of art in public schools, Laura develops her research using various expressive languages (photography, video, painting, sculpture, music and site-specific performative events, often with public participation). Her attention is focused on communication and the environment. The focus is on the hyper-reality of life, on the awareness or unconsciousness of human action, mediated by language and relationship. To metamorphose: it's the leitmotiv, the wave in balance between the polarities of reality / otherworldly, nature / artifice, manual skills / technology, tradition / innovation. The work is an "in progress" observatory, an intimate biographical meditation. The mediating objects are in common use, sometimes made of natural or textile material, often recovered, to the rediscovery of a universal code.

Laura signs herself Irene Soundrisen in the performances in which she plays pieces composed for Celtic harp.

Laura has participated in numerous important group and solo exhibitions, signing up to 2009 with the name "MATIA" (in duo with Pino Giampà), including:
