Adji Dieye was born in Milan, Italy, in 1991 and now lives between Dakar (Senegal), Milan (Italy) and Zurich (Switzerland). She studied New Technologies for Art at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan and completed a Master of Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts. By pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium, her practice moves between performance, sculpture and video-based installations. Her work has been included in international group exhibitions at FOAM Amsterdam and Kunsthalle Wien (2020) as well as the African Photo Biennale in Bamako, Mali (2019) and the Lagos Photo Festival (2017). She is the winner of the C/O Berlin Talent Award 2021 and first recipient of the format Photographic Encounters at Fotomuseum Winterthur (2022- 2023).
