Elena Vaninetti

PUBLISHED/AWARDED/EXHIBITED: SHOT ENTIRELY IN CAMERA ON LOCATION WITH ONE MODEL. 15 DIFFERENT SHOTS STITCHED TOGETHER IN POST-PRODUCTION
Just exhibited in Sao Paolo, Brazil, September 2025

Please note that my Lost Swimmer series is the only "Swimmer" imagery on auction on Catawiki that is 100% photography, unlike other images that are AI/and AI collages.

The series was exhibited in NYC, Tokyo, London and Paris amongst other cities. It was published amongst others, in the UK TIMES and The Guardian, and one of the images was even exhibited as a BILLBOARD in TIME SQUARE in NYC! 
The series is an allegory for the self-conflicted individual, the one lost in self-doubt and fear. Fulfillment in the form of swimming is easily within reach, but to the character, it is miles away, simply unattainable. 

Giclee Limited Edition on heavy, pearlescent art Paper, using Epson SureColor P9570 UltraChrome PRO12 high-definition, pigment-based inks for museum-quality Giclée standards and archival permanence. 
Print Dimensions are 50cmX70cm - Image Dimensions are 46cmX67cm
Signed/numbered/with certificate of Authenticity.


Please note the art displayed on wall is of various sizes.
