NATÁLIA TREJBALOVÁ

Natália Trejbalová (Košice, Slovakia, 1989) lives and works in Milan. She studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna and later, in Milan, cinema and video at Scuola di Nuove Tecnologie dell’Arte di Brera. 

Her multidisciplinary artistic practice leaves no space for boundaries between the media, using the same approach whether it be video, object, drawing, photography, performance and more. In her latest films explores through the possibilities of science fiction and speculative world-making our individual perception of global-scale transformations, possible future interspecies relations and changes in the planetary environment.

She participated in various group and solo exhibitions in different institutions and spaces such as Power Station of Arts, Shanghai (CN), Fotomuseum Winterthur (CH), Quadriennale di Roma (IT), Regional Art Gallery Liberec (CZ), L’Esprit Nouveau (IT), 35m2 (CZ), PAV Turin (IT), Regional Art Gallery Pardubice (CZ), Enclave Projects (GB), Gossamer Fog (GB), Galerie Charlot (FR), Fondazione Pini (IT) and others. Her recent solo shows include Isle of the Altered Sun at A Promise of Kneropy (2021), Bratislava, Slovakia, About Mirages and Stolen Stones (2020) at Case Chiuse HQ, Milan, and and suddenly the apparition was gone, long gone (2020) at XY, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Her videos have been presented in several important festivals and institutions, like Mudam – Luxembourg and soon also at Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
