Sofia Mattioli (1986) studied Art History in Rome and worked as a freelance producer from 2007 to 2010 for MAi Associati. During that time, she developed projects for photographers such as Juergen Teller and for magazines such as Vogue Italia, Vogue UK, Another Magazine, Self Service, etc. .
In 2010 she moved to London to work full time for Mario Testino for a year, and then freelanced mainly as a researcher for various clients. Since 2011, Sofia has worked on conceptual films and creative direction projects for clients such as Hermes, Chloé, Etro, Esteban Cortazar, Sergio Rossi, Hermes and non-profit organisations such as Asia NGO and SottoSopra Onlus. Inspired by the relationship between silence and sound, by her love of dance, and by the world of the unconscious, she has created conceptual videos such as "Sleepsound," "Continuum," and "Eeg Waveforms”. In 2019 he developed seven video installations for the exhibition "Il lexicon italiano" at the Museo Vittoriano in Rome and the Fairy project, published in Vogue Italia, which takes up personal themes related to love and inspired by the feminist texts of Simone de Beauvoir and the concept of Jung's shadow revised in a poetic and liberating key. Inspired by the writings of Hillman and her Buddhist teacher Chogyal Namkahi Norbu ( worked also for his NGO A.S.I.A in Tenerife) she studied how the subconscious and conscious can heal and connect with one another through internal conversations in order to move away from dualistic existence. The Buddhist Dzogchen teaching was a great inspiration for her innovative method of reading astrally charts. She has been studying astrology since 2015 and it is precisely her passion for this philosophy that during Covid allowed her to retreat to Tuscany for eight months to write the project "Universo Maglia," which is now at the center of her creative research.
