Antonietta Putzu
with Thomas Gombotz
Antonietta Putzu was born in Zurich and studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She was a researcher and lecturer at the Research Unit of Housing and Design at TU Wien. Currently she investigates on the interior as a space of self-representation and social visibility. In her work she contrasts post-war bourgeois ideals of domesticity in Italian design media with everyday images from marginalized groups. Through this visual dialogue, she explores how domestic space reflects and reinforces power, class, and cultural identity. She is also co-editor and author of the publication The Last Grand Tour: Contemporary Phenomena and Strategies of Living in Italy, published by Park Books in 2023.
