Simonetta Casasola Curriculum
Simonetta Casasola studied painting under the guidance of the artist Concept Pozzati at Bologna's Art School and Fine Arts Academy.
Casasola also studied photography in Venice with Oliviero Toscan and continues to be part of the faculty at the University of Bologna's Drama, Art and Music Studies (DAMS) department.
Her art uses the photograph as a medium, and her interest is focused solely on the moment of capturing the picture rather than on the development and printing of the final work. For this reason, the entirety of her work is encapsulated in the performative act of shooting, not the existance of the ultimate product.
In 2011, Casasola decided to create an external team tasked with printing her work to create an archive. That said, the artists maintains that the moment the camera goes "click" remains the only salient moment in which her work is created.
