"Since her first documentary, made in 2004 in Bilbao, Silvia Maggi wanted to declare
openly what and who would be the subject of her research and her work: the human.
What is most fascinated by the restless mind of this young video artist is made up of feelings of humanity and history. At the centre of her works we find a profound metaphor of reality. Excellent researcher and narrator Silvia Maggi is proposed in view of the young Italian contemporary art as an experimentalist. An innovator with a strong link with the past."
