BIRGIT VAGANI, has been following art from art fair to art fair, from museum to museum, from exhibition to exhibition from an early age, driven by an obsession for engaging with creative expression. Growing up in Italy, in a historically cultural rich setting, surrounded by classic masters and Italian craftsmanship and design, imposing backdrops for art, such as the biennale in Venice, the Museum Rivoli d’arte contemporanea in Torino, the Hanger Bicocca in Milano, or the Park in Villa Ada in Rome, allowed her to lay a foundation for a tingling visual sensitivity.
Moving to Hong Kong and traveling and working in four different continents, has given her a cultural perceptiveness and a broad understanding of artistic genius with a particular interest for the visual.
Her understanding of art has evolved from being a mere spectator to a full-blown curatorial practice, engaging with the artworks in uncommon ways, juxtaposing works from different fields and cultural backgrounds and of different materials, while shining the light on the artist him|herself.
She studied photography at the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia (IIF) in Milano and while traveling in Brazil and Mexico, Morocco and Turkey with renowned photographers including Anders Petersen, Jason Eskenazi, and Ernesto Bazan and has exhibited her own works in exhibition in Hong Kong and Morocco.
