Biography

Luisa Turuani’s (Milan, 1992) work prompts new ways of looking at our relationship with everyday life. The artist draws analogies between human, animal, daily objects features and proposes possible interactions between human and other bodies. Turuani investigates the attempts of giving birth to dead things and so she produces artworks which live and die, cry and fall, kiss and reject the observer. So, the artworks are characterized by precariousness and lightness; in the balance between irony and drama, they expose themselves during their dissolution. From this point of view things seem to escape from the observer’s perception during a metamorphic transformation. The artist’s process of giving birth to the inanimate objects is inspired by children playing with their toys. Turuani’s artworks are living beings, unique and unrepeatable, and not inanimate objects. So, the observer can identify himself with the breakable life of the artworks and thus looks closer to the nature of life and death.

Turuani completed her MFA at Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 2017.

Recent exhibitions include: Villa Radet, Paris (2019); Cardi Galley, Milan (2019); BienNoLo, Milan (2019); Biennial UKYA City Take Over, Nottingham (2019); t-space studio, Milan (2018); P420 Gallery, Bologna (2017). She won Combat Prize X Edition in video art; she also was one of the winners of ORA Prize in 2019; in the same year she won AccadeMibac Prize and she was finalist at Laguna Prize XIII Edition in performance section. She won Nocivelli Prize X Edition in 2018 and she presented her solo exhibition titled Non sto più nella pelle in 2019. She was also finalist at Combat Prize, Francesco Fabbri Prize, Arteam Prize in 2018.
