Daniela Comani (born 4 February 1965 in Bologna, Italy) is an Italian artist. Since 1989, she has lived in Berlin, Germany.[1]
Biography[edit]
Comani received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna, Italy (1988) and a Master of Fine Arts from the Universität der Künste in Berlin, Germany (1993).[2]
The multimedia work of Comani touches on subjects like history, language, gender and identity. She often works with photos and texts from newspapers, television and books that allegedly appear familiar to us. Foreignness and intimacy, history and interpretation, and the mechanisms of comprehension are her concerns. Comani's artistic practice includes photography, texts, drawings, video and installation.
