Goldschmied & Chiari are an artistic duo formed by Sara Goldschmied (born in Arzignano, 1975) and Eleonora Chiari (born in Rome, 1971). They live and work in Milan. Their practice weaves together photography, installation, performance, and video, exploring collective memory, power, and female identity. They create immersive environments and images that oscillate between artifice and reality, dreamlike vision and historical tension. A recurring theme is the relationship between nature and artifice, approached through symbolic landscapes and altered atmospheres. Self-representation is often used as a narrative and symbolic device. They have exhibited in institutions such as the Venice Biennale, Malta Biennale, FRAC Bretagne, Museo Novecento, Castello di Rivoli, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Museion, MaMbo, Museo Madre, Fundació Joan Miró, Fábrica de Arte Cubano in Havana, Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington.
