Virginia Morini (Faenza, 2000) works and experiments in multimedia arts. She explores the surreal that lays behind our reality through a documentary approach.
After studying Cinema Direction in Bologna, she graduated from the Magnum Photos & Spéos Master in Creative Documentary & Photojournalism in Paris in July 2023.
During her formation, she was mentored by photographers including Antoine d’Agata, Sabiha Çimen, and other Magnum Photos members.
In 2022, she was selected for the special edition Diciottoventicinque – Fotografia Europea, within which she developed the project De amore Dei, created through an immersive experience living with a community of nuns.
The same year, she began the long-term project 1103 – visionsfromthehill, set in the village of Tredozio, researching collective and generational trauma persisting within an underpopulated rural area. In 2023, she wrote and directed her first short film, Atto di dolore, which explores the relational framework between victim and perpetrator in the context of childhood trauma and abuse.
Her research revolves around family, secrecy, sexuality, trauma, and religion.
For the past two years, she worked in Paris, assisting Magnum Photos photographer Lorenzo Meloni.
She is currently developing a new body of work in Manila Philippines on minors’ sexual exploitation in Southeast Asia.
