Lara Favaretto. Born in Treviso, Italy, in 1973, Favaretto studied at Academia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan, and Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como. She works in photography, video and performance.

In her installations, performances, films, and photographic work, Favaretto creates situations and atmospheres that are in continuous metamorphosis, and that gain power in relation to the viewers' memories and experiences. Viewers are invited to participate in the process of creating meaning for, and stories about, the objects. Favaretto's improvisatory work invokes a magic realism, in which the unconscious and the dreamlike proliferate in positive and negative encounters with the real.

For the Ladonia Biennial Lara Favaretto is represented with the project Shortlist of Dead Memories: Bas Jan Ader, Ambrose Bierce, Bobby Fischer
