BIOGRAPHY

She attended Lucia Marthas dance preparatory training from 2001 untill 2003. Movement became a means to explore her body.

STATEMENT
Nicole Gigatti believes the organic, inner and still elements of nature and the mechanical, chaotic yet structured elements of the city relate to eachother. They are transformed by time and space and the validation of your own experience by reflecting on your place in it. Every step you take in life changes the perception of your reality, creating new meanings between the personal perception of your inner- and outerworld. Through your individual journey in life, the experience of making art is able to support your expression which create the narrative of your life. Her goal in this is process is to look for the balance between the symbolism of nature and the city in which she lives.
