Gabrielle de Vietri’s concept-driven practice includes sculptural, performative, photographic, moving-image, written and imagined works and is constructed to activate new social imaginaries through which personal and social shifts may occur. Through the combination of sincerity and humour, de Vietri proposes new ways of acting, interacting and transacting, creating new relationships and new realities.

Gabrielle de Vietri graduated with First Class Honours in a BFA (Hons) at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2005 after obtaining a Certificat d’Etudes en Arts Plastiques (2001-2003) at the Ecole Supérieure d’Art d’Aix in France.
