About
Lisa Sorgini is an Australian/Italian artist working across still photography. She investigates themes of the human condition; caregiving, motherhood, memory and familial spaces. Within her two long-form projects, Mother and In-Passing, Lisa uses personal experience combined with sociological research to reveal complex narratives in the representation of women and mothers and care roles in current cultural spaces. Past projects have explored motherhood during the COVID-19 pandemic (Behind Glass), family dynamics (Thick Like Water), and climate anxiety and place (The Bushfire, the Flood). Her work has been profiled and published extensively, with notable interviews in The New Yorker, TIME Magazine, NY Times and The Guardian.

In 2023 she held her first solo exhibition of ‘Behind Glass’ at The Centre for Contemporary Photography in Melbourne, Australia and exhibited work from ‘Behind Glass’ and ‘Mother’ at PhEST and Ragusa photo festivals in Italy and Ballarat Photo Festival in Australia. She released her first monograph, 'Behind Glass', published by Libraryman (OOP) in late 2022. She has been recognised in multiple awards including the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize (UK), the National Portrait Prize (Aus), the Lucie Portrait Project, Head-On photo awards, Portrait of Humanity and Australian photography awards.
