Ann Prochilo | This is water | Ann Prochilo (American, b. 1958) is a photographic artist ba- sed in Malta. Her narrative-driven photographs explore belon- ging, memory, and change. Born into a large family in Port Jefferson, New York, Prochilo is the chronological middle-child of six. Her vision and voice are shaped by a boisterous hierarchy of birth order and gender, musical theatre and public service. She splits her time between San Francisco and Malta with her fiancé. Prochilo received a BA from Indiana University where she pur- sued dual interests in fine arts and medicine. She has had a wi- de-ranging career as midwife, AIDS activist and founder of an advocacy relations agency. After 15 years facilitating producti- ve relationships between patient advocates and pharmaceutical companies, she returned to full-time arts practice. Prochilo’s work has been exhibited in the United States and Eu- rope. Besides This is Water, she is working on two other pro- jects: Leaving Home, an artist book about an empty house, be- longing and the indelible watermark of family; and Barumbara, an ongoing chronicle in these precarious times of pandemic, polemics and war. It explores how, when inundated, we may thrive or rebel or turn inward, protective and feral.
