Francesca Marengo (IT/UK, b. 1994 ) is an Italian visual artist based between London, UK, and Turin, Italy. She graduated from the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin in 2016, and later completed an MA in Photographic Research at Leeds Art University. Working with photography, her practice explores close collaboration with subjects, creating dialogue beyond documentary through innovative storytelling. Her project Consonant Time was a winner of the Urbanautica Awards in 2024, whilst her work has featured in a range of major Italian art publications.
Exhibited here, Consonant Time is an ongoing photographic project rooted in a collaborative image-making process. Marengo’s participants contribute to the construction of the photographic space, producing images that operate between staged and documentary practices. The resulting work is structured as a non-linear visual sequence, where meaning emerges through juxtaposition, repetition, and interval. At Foto Tallinn, an installation of vertically-oriented prints emphasises seriality and rhythm, foregrounding the temporal dimension of viewing.
