A Video Interview with Liza Ambrossio

© PHmuseum, from An Interview With Liza Ambrossio

Originally she wanted to become a doctor. She started her project when she was 16 years old thanks to her family's housekeeper. She considers her work as a psychoanalysis of her family and culture or more simply as a tarot reading covering 10 years of life.

This is Mexican photographer Liza Ambrossio whose project The Rage Of Devotion was selected by the team of PhEST among all of the submissions of the PHmuseum 2019 Photography Grant for a solo exhibition at the latest edition of the festival. I had the pleasure to interview Liza in those days and learn about the deep stories behind the genesis and development of her work. She also discussed her photography approach, commented her experience at the Italian Festival and her opinion on PHmuseum and online opportunities.

Get to know more about her photography, which lies between a documentary and artistic vision, and apply to the PHmuseum 2020 Photography Grant for being taken into consideration for the next solo show at PhEST. In a few weeks we will announce the next work to be in Monopoli, Italy from September until November 2020.
