Liliana Moro

Liliana Moro (Milan, 1961) works and lives in Milan. When approaching her artworks, we have the perception that only what is strictly necessary is present. Sound, words, sculptures, objects and performance, create a world that “stages” a reality simultaneously raw and poetic. These are territories of an individual experience (that of the artist but mainly of the viewer) that ask for going beyond from what is visible. The reduction to the essential understood as an attitude, a practice and a positioning, does not result from a retate of a minimal language; it is rather something that that the artist triggers both when choosing to use elaborated techniques and when opting to use existent materials and everyday objects. A prominent element in Liliana Moro’s research is the political dimension, not translated in the illustration of contents, but related to the forms of addressing the recipients: for example by placing her work on the ground she implicitly asks the viewer to bend down to see it. Freedom of action is an important aspect of the artist’s work and it defines it but only partially: what creates an interesting difference is the relation between the universe of possibilities and a tension- both physical and poetical- produced from this relation.
