About
Asia Lo Savio is a an Italian London based photographer and filmmaker. Her experimental techniques challenge the politics of the image and test the boundaries of photography.
She graduated from NYU-Gallatin in Cinema Studies and Comparative Literature. She has won various awards, including the NYU African Fellowship Award, where she collaborated with the Angolan theatre company Elinga Teatro directed by José Menabrantes.
Asia is a global citizen. She grew up between Italy and Spain, practiced photography and dance across Latin America, lived in New York and speaks Italian, Spanish, English and Portuguese. With a camera always wrapped around her neck, she complements her artistic projects with work in film production and assisting film directors such as Alfonso Cuarón, Terry Gilliam, Adam Sandler, and Robert Salerno.
Her upcoming project is based on 1950s negatives she retrieved from her family to explore women’s representation and role in artistic practices.
