Graduated in Figurative Arts, with a specialization in drawing and painting from the Academy of Fine Arts, she moved to Milan in 2012 to study photography. She works most of the time on her personal research.

Her work has been displayed at Plat(t)form, at the Fotomuseum Winterthur, the Fotopub Festival in Slovenia, Circulation(s) in Paris and Futures in Unseen Amsterdam, among others. Since 2016, she has been represented by Viasaterna, which held Kaleidos, her first solo show in January 2019. Later this year, she exhibited in group exhibitions at the Fundaciò Enric Miralles in Barcelona and at Fotohof in Salzbourg. 

Teresa Giannico takes photographs of small dioramas that she creates to play with the scales. With the aim to instill doubt about the documentary value of photography and to reveal the machine of representation, she reproduces realities, existing or not.

In her series Ricerca 8, Teresa Giannico develops her interest in interiors and sculptural work through photography. These images start from a drawing where she sketches sceneries and set objects chosen from her extensive archive. The elements are not precisely connected, but respond to the needs of her composition.

After completing the sketch, she transfers it to a three-dimensional cardboard diorama with printed surfaces and textures. The last of all these steps is to photograph the diorama. The resulting picture is the only remain of her work.
