ARTIST STATEMENT

DSCF0254.jpg

Lea Montalbetti (*1999, Frankfurt am Main) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work deals with the immaterial, which finds its home in found objects, fading words and abandoned spaces. 

 

She graduated in interdisciplinary art in 2022 in Maastricht, and has since created a body of work that engages with her intergenerational identity and explores the origins of her family's deep-rooted homesickness and wanderlust. 

 

Her focus is on analog photography, cyanotypes, short films, graphics and objects, which she combines in immersive installations. These are intended to invite viewers to embark on their own search for traces in time.

 

Montalbetti uses objects and places as carriers of nostalgia and memory to explore the meaning of our cultural, historical and collective past by creating spaces for reflection and introspection.
