CHIARA MAZZOCCHI

Artist - Photographer, Videoartist, Art performer, Light worker, Channeler.
Theta waves and Hic et Nunc (Here and Now) are the perceptive methods of visualization and self-awareness used by Chiara Mazzocchi to enter a state of deep universal cosmic connection, exploring and celebrating creative energy, visualizing and exploiting the power of "all that is".
Chiara lives in Italy. She began photographing and printing in analog at the age of thirteen, specializing in the course of her life on images,perception and light. For several years he has captured inner processes through photographic and video self-portraits that operate between transcendence and awakening. All his artistic projects are based on the condition of listening to the "state of presence", a place where the mind has no power, and are born as self-therapy and self-empowerment. A process of exploration, transcendental meditation guided by the right hemisphere of the brain, seat of instinct, perception, intuition, creativity and emotional communication, which allows it to make the invisible visible within the photographic rectangle in which everything "appears" and flows without rest and merges, harmonizes and resonates with the soul of the world, the only protagonist. The interior space of emptiness - silence in connection with the cosmos becomes the place of perception, a sort of interior room, a sacred place where one can freely offer oneself without division, fear, judgment, beliefs.Chiara has created the “PranoPhotography” method, at the service of Light and its flow, for personal growth, development and empowerment. In the "state of presence", one is aware of impermanence and through it one experiences an aesthetic experience, of beauty and of conscious attention, which she defines as "cosmic observation". The imaginal approach allows the real to be lived dematerialized.Her images and video art works travel the world through exhibitions and screenings, festivals, conferences and fairs (Berliner Kunst Salon, Open Air Gallery Berlin, Mia Photo Fair Milano), earning honorable mentions, plaques and awards. Important articles in Italian newspapers (La Stampa, La Repubblica), publications in “Vogue Italia”, “Designboom”, “Design Diffusion”, “Il Fotografo”; some photographic projects are currently used for educational purposes at Brown University of USA, Providence.


“I focus on the awakening of consciousness through photography, video-art, performance art. When I capture myself with my camera I don’t see myself, I perceive myself as an energy flow…channel, together with the space around. The subject is not me but the authentic relationship with space and with the soul of the world. My research is not representation but it is a "state of presence", in which my mind stops having power. My intent is to stimulate humanity to approach inner awakening and at the energies exploration through frequencies and nature vibrations. It's a path that goes beyond photographic technique and beyond the physical eye. It can’t be analyzed nor identified, because the "state of presence" is a state which can't be grasped with the mind or understood. I try to give shape to what socio-cultural manipulation (commonly called “education”) has made unrecognizable: the human being”. Chiara Mazzocchi
