Dr Annalisa Sonzogni

About

I am Lecturer in Critical and Historical Studies at Kingston School of Art and supervise students dissertation for the BA Fashion Promotion & Imaging at the University for the Creative Arts.

As an artist, I work with photography and film in the field of architecture with a specific interest in site-specific installation. My installations are immersive environments that create a bridge between functional and imaginary spaces. I've done extensive research on the relationship between photography and the built environment, focusing in particular on issues of scale, perception and representation. I have a keen interest in interdisciplinary research. 

Formerly, I have delivered postgraduate lectures at Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge School of Art).

I remain active in the field of photography research as co-convener of Ph: The Photography Research Network, a network of academics working in the field of photography and film.

I was artist-in-residence at T.A.J & SKE Projects in Bangalore; Gasworks in London and École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles. Solo exhibitions include Italian Cultural Institute in Mexico City; Casa del Fascio in Como, Italy; Pescheria Visual Arts Centre, Pesaro, Italy and the former Lilian Baylis School in London. Group exhibitions include Stills Scotland's Centre for Photography, Edinburgh; Four Corners gallery, London; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Guarene d'Alba, Italy; Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany and Le Botanique, Brussels, Belgium.
