Lorenza Demata

I was born in Naples, Italy in 1988 and lived in Florence for many years. Before moving to London in 2016 for the MA Photography at London College of Communication, I first graduated in Economic Development and Conflict Management, then in Photography in Florence. My practice is based on photography, editing and book making, with a particular attention to topics of relevant social interest and to alternative processes and media.

For 251 Project, my aim was to explore the feature of multi ethnicity of Elephant and Castle area. Starting from the research and collection of exotic products from the Shopping Center, I created a series of still life photos to interpret the eclectic mix of this area of South London.
