Experimental photographer, Wanda Wulz participated in 1932 in a futurist art exhibition where she met the futurist ideologist and editor Filippo Tomasso Marinetti, who encouraged her to continue exhibiting her photoplasticism and photodynamics in other cities and to continue experimenting. As a result, in the late 1930s Wulz devoted himself entirely to avant-garde photography, mixing various techniques and achieving totally transgressive results. In this way she became the only internationally renowned Italian photographer of her time. Wulz's interest in photography arose at an early age because her father was a renowned photographer in the city of Trieste, founder of the Wulz Photographic Studio. On his death, Wanda and her sister inherited the studio. One of Wulz's main works was the montage in which he superimposed two images, his white cat and his self-portrait. His output is currently housed in the Museo della Fotografia Fratelli Alinari in Florence. His work was also presented at the Metropolitan Museum in 2013.
