(Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1976)
Through her photographic production, Lorena Marchetti reflects on the relationship between man and the spaces he inhabits. Through her lens scenes of the current kingdom, panoramic views and high-rise architecture become paradoxical portraits of overcrowded cities. Likewise, in all of her series the color palette plays a leading role. Along with the saturation and exaggeration of her colors, the artist achieves a close relationship with painting, thus exceeding the limits of the documentary photographic record. Marchetti finds in “the everyday” a carrier of great cultural wealth, and it is through her works that they invite us to think about the link between space, context and culture.

Lorena trained as a Graphic Designer at the University of Buenos Aires. She conducted art clinics with Gabriel Valansi, Diana Aisenberg, Marta Zátonyi and Eduardo Stupía, among others. In 2013 she was selected to participate in the annual PAC Project Artist Program at the Gachi Prieto Gallery.

She has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, including: La Marca Original: Argentine art (Centro Cultural Kirchner, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2019); An imagined community (National House of the Bicentennial, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2018); Disarticulations (#4 C.LAB Mercosul, Blau Projects Gallery, São Paulo, Brazil, 2017); Vertigo (Galería Gachi Prieto, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2017); Fiftyfity (50/50)… the Chimba! (PASTO Galería, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2014) and Promises about the bidet (Desborde Galería, Bogotá, Colombia, 2013).

Regarding awards and competitions, he won the Third Prize in Photography at the 104th National Hall of Visual Arts (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2015) and was a Finalist for the ltaú Cultural Award for Visual Arts (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2014 and 2012 ).

Since 2015 she has been a member of the Foto Féminas Collective, a platform that seeks to promote female artists working in Latin America and the Caribbean. During 2016 and 2017 she carried out the art direction of the Escenario Prestado cycle, an editorial project of the Gachi Prieto Gallery that articulates visual arts and literature. In 2017 she joined FOCO, a contemporary photography study group coordinated by Natalia Fortuny at the Gino Germani Research Institute, Faculty of Social Sciences, in coordination with the Study Group on Art, Culture and Politics directed by Ana Longoni .
