Verona, Italy, 1975.

Anna Galtarossa’s work is concerned with “transforming feelings into places.” Her sprawling, minutely detailed installations feature a vast accumulation of imagery and objects, from dime store plastic toys, to tilting architectural constructions and fetishistic totems made of family snapshots and human hair. Her work offers a complex mythology encoded in its many details. It often represents a self-portrait of sorts, an archaeology of life as it is lived. (Gallery statement)
