Ambra Viviani lives and works between Naples And Basel, where she earned an MFA from the Institut Kunst in 2017.

In 2020, she founded Giulietta, an artist-run space and curatorial project, and since 2022, she has curated the radio series OTTERS HOLDING HANDS on Lumpen Station.

She has been in residence at the Istituto Svizzero in Rome (2024/25), Villa Clavel in Augst (2024), CASTRO Projects in Rome (2022), JET LEG in Munich (2022), Atelier Mondial in Hangzhou (2019), the Akademie der Künste in Berlin (2018), and Tropical Lab in Singapore (2017).

She has received research grants from the Patronage Fund for Young Swiss Artists (Basel), IfCAR (Zurich), SRKS/FSRC (Bern), the Albert Friedrich His-Stiftung (Basel), and the Fiorucci Art Trust (London).

Her work has been presented in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, China, and Singapore.

She constructs narrative environments where perceived reality and fiction, besides the separation between perceptual organs, tend to blur, collapsing into one another. Interested in alternative and non-linear narrative modes, she stages encounters where meaning slips, multiplies, or dissolves. Her current research explores the de/re-construction of the loving discourse.
