Giovanni Giaretta
Giovanni Giaretta (Padua, Italy, 1983) currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Giaretta’s artistic practice primarily focuses on moving image and cinematic archetypes, combining them with sound and themes explored through an autoethnographic method. Often his works arise after a period of engagement with specific groups of individuals or academics. As ‘collages’, his works are the result of a research process that aims to relate images, texts and sounds. They lead reality to be overwhelmed by surreal, dreamlike and unusual elements.
Most recently, his work is featured in Framer Framed’s exhibition Wild Waters: Dams and And Deltas After Modernity (2026) on the inextricable links between water, colonial expansion and territorial exploitation.
