Gabriele Galimberti, born in
1977 in Val di Chiana (Tuscany), committed to documentary photography after
starting out as a commercial photographer, and after joining the art collective
Riverboom. He has spent the last few years working on long-term
documentary photography projects around the world, some of which have become
books, such as Toy Stories (Abrams Books 2014), In Her
Kitchen (Random
House 2014) and Couchsurfing (Random House 2015). He is currently travelling
around the globe, working on both solo and shared projects, as well as on
assignments for international magazines and newspapers such as Fortune, The
Sunday Times, Stern, Geo, Le
Monde, La Repubblica and Marie Claire. His works have been
exhibited in shows worldwide, such as the Festival Images in Vevey,
Switzerland; they have won the Fotoleggendo Festival Award in
Rome and the Best In Show Prize at the New York Photography Festival.
Girl’s Bedrooms: Mirrors and Windows - Riverboom’s Gabriele Galimberti and Edoardo Delille are
travelling the five continents to see where girls between the ages of 18 and 30
sleep. They have discovered that girls’ bedrooms are much more then just places
where they lay down their heads – they are the places where girls read, love,
dream, work and play. The selection of the subjects photographed is not based
on their looks or on the décor of their rooms, but on a desire to show how
diverse these can be, as well as on the strength of the story behind them.
These bedrooms are the mirrors of the history, personality, culture, obsessions
and social status of the girls that occupy them, but are also unique windows
into these young women’s worlds.
