The Italian artist Valentina Murabito (*1981 Giarre/Italy) is known for her unusual use of analogue photography. She exposes wood, steel, concrete and entire walls.

"For me, photography is first and foremost a light drawing in which I guide the pen. I am referring here to the beginnings of photography, the origin of the medium, which was primarily a manual printing process whose result existed physically.
The craftsmanship is important to me, which makes each of my works unique,” ​​is how the artist describes her creative process. Valentina Murabito studied graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania, Italy, from 2004 to 2009 and, thanks to two scholarships, went to the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, where she had day and night access to the photo lab and materials. During this time, she began to experiment without limits with analogue photography. This process continues to this day.
