Giulia Parlato (b. 1993, Palermo) is a visual artist working between Rome and Palermo. After twelve years in London, where she studied Photography at London College of Communication and earned a Master ’s degree from the Royal College of Art, she returned to Italy to reconnect with her Mediterranean roots and deepen her conceptual and aesthetic practice. Her work, which spans photography, video, and sound, explores the relationship between memory, fiction, and history. Through constructed images, she investigates how knowledge is produced, archived, and sometimes invented. Drawing from archaeology, museology, and mythology, she stages imagined rituals, false relics, and theatrical narratives to question the reliability of historical representation. Giulia’s work is shown nationally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions, including Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Rome, upcoming), Italian Institute of Culture (London, 2024), MAXXI (Rome, 2024), Triennale (Milan, 2023), Photo London (2022), Unseen Photo Fair (Amsterdam, 2021), and Gare du Nord for Paris Photo (Paris, 2019). She is the recipient of the Luigi Ghirri Award (2022), the Innovate Grant (2020), the Camera Work Award (2020), and the Carte Blanche Étudiants Award (2019). Her work is held in both public and private collections.
