Eleonora Agostini

Eleonora Agostini is an artist and lecturer.

Originally from Italy, she is now based in London.

She received her Ba from Istituto Europeo di Design in Millan in 2013, and she graduated with a Master in Photography at the Royal College of Art in 2018. She is currently a lecturer on the BA Photography course at Arts University Bournemouth.

Eleonora’s practice shifts between photography, moving image, performance and sculpture, exploring and analysing the difficulties of how human experience is constructed. Her research is strongly connected with the experience of our surroundings, and she is interested in finding a possible fracture within our socially constructed rules and the spaces we inhabit.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions, including galleries and museums such as Almanan in Turin, L21 Gallery in Palma de Mallorca, South London Gallery and Borough Road Gallery in London, Leeds Art Gallery in Leeds, Museo Castromediano in Lecce, MAR Ravenna, National Museum of Gdansk, and festivals such as Getxophoto International Photo Festival, Fotografia Europea in Reggio Emilia, Photo OpenUp in Padova, Circulations Festival in Paris and Format Festival in Derby. She was one of the artists of Futures Photography 2021 (selected by Camera Torino) and Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2019. She was nominated for the Foam Paul Huf Award in 2021.
