Sabrina Melis (Milan, 1986) is an Italian artist and designer. Thematically, her work focuses on human habitation, interweaving scientific and artistic research. An analysis of uses, habits, human passage through physical or virtual spaces, and their purpose is the artist’s starting point for exploring this universal movement. In her work, fiction is a tool used to combine facts and hard information with hypotheses of reality through the use of different media. The artist has a particular interest in video and installation.
The municipality of Sutrio, which consists of the main town along with the hamlets of Priola and Nojaris, is located at an altitude of about 570 meters in the Bût valley, the historical valley of Carnia. Due to its position, it has been a natural communication channel between the Mediterranean and the transalpine worlds since prehistoric times. The local woodworking tradition has been well documented since 1700, when chests of drawers, tables, chairs and ottomans crafted Sutrio’s workshops were used to decorate the homes of Venetian and Udine nobles. Since the mid-nineteenth century, woodworking here has also included other types of furniture, fixtures and coatings.
