margherita crocco

Bio

Margherita Crocco was born in Milano and was raised between her homeland Italy and Switzerland. As soon as she could, she packed her bags and began discovering the world. On the way she picked up a master’s degree in anthropology in Paris and a certificate of photography from the ICP in NYC. She works mainly on personal projects using photography and collages. She focuses her work on issues related to the psyche and paradoxes of language.
