Mariantonietta Bagliato was born in 1985 in Bari, Italy, with Czech roots. The puppet theater influenced her artistic research. Since her childhood, she worked with puppets with strings made by her mother, who was born in Prague. In the field of visual arts, her research results in a combination of different influences, and she has experimented with various techniques such as performance, installations, soft-sculptures, drawings, and public art projects. Her work is characterized by the systematic use of fabrics like visual materials to express the evocative power of the collective unconscious memory.
She transforms the fabrics into soft and enveloping forms, sometimes aggressive and monstrous, capable of stimulating multiple senses from the visual to the tactile. Space is essential because the installations interact with the places and are therefore traversable, habitable, and, at times, interactive.
