Eva Giolo (b.1991) is an audio visual artist based in Brussels. Her work consists of cinematic poems that show a propensity to capture family stories – of her own or of another’s. Using documentary strategies, she paints film portraits and creates a window onto invisible, usually private, interior worlds. Her interested lies in capturing the everyday, the coming-into-being of language, filiation as transmission, learning and teaching as a labour of love.

Giolo obtained her MFA at the Royal Academy of Arts in Ghent and Kanazawa College of Art in Japan. She is a former art resident at HISK in Ghent (2018-2020), SeMA NANJI in Seoul (2019) and WIELS in Brussels (2020).

Giolo won the VAF Wildcard for experimental film (2016), the Cedric Willemen Award (2019) and the price of recognition of the Vordemberge – Gildewart Foundation Award (2020). She is a founding member of the production and distribution platform elephy.
