  Nina Breeder (born in 1982 in Genova, Italy), is an Italian contemporary artist based in New York City. She grew up in Northern Italy and lived there until 1991. Later she was relocated to Polperro, UK, for one year where she first met her adoptive brother Massimilian Breeder, who is present in several of her works and future films/video-art collaborations. She studied at Colombo Lyceum for Classic Literature and consequently at the Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.
  
  ## Background
  
  Back in 1999 N. Breeder began working on experimental films and performances in Florence. She later moved to Brooklyn, where she began collaborating with the artist Massimilian Breeder on film and performance art, beginning the film production of Devil come to Hell and stay where You belong* and a series of land installations and performances. Her work is based on the confrontation with lost traditions and pagan rituals, often involving the use of hair, wool, feces and organic materials.*
