Luca VIanello (1990), born in Alba, lives and works in Torino. He graduated with honors from the European Institute of Design, specializing in visual arts and photography. For several years, he worked as an assistant to photographer Alex Majoli of Magnum Photos, where he specialized in managing his archive and producing his exhibitions. This significant experience led him back to Turin, where he aimed to create a space dedicated to the appreciation and awareness of contemporary photography. In 2018, he co-founded Mucho Mas! Artist-run Space with Silvia Mangosio. This space, which remains active and has won multiple awards, is strongly connected to national and international collaborations. Simultaneously, he continues his personal research, focusing on mixed media works that recontextualize photography through a practice often in diaristic elements.

Echoes of an Untiled Glass
Echoes of an Untitled Glass contrappone in maniera suggestiva il concetto del reale con quello onirico, narrando un viaggio intricato e affascinante, costellato di simbolismi ed epifanie che conducono il viaggiatore in una realtà aleatoria e misteriosa. Il cortometraggio stimola profonde riflessioni sull'analisi e la determinazione del sé, rappresentando un unico individuo che si sdoppia e si osserva in silenzio, catturato da iconografie di santi e apparizioni indefinite. Ogni scena è un invito a esplorare il subconscio, a interrogarsi sulla propria essenza e identità, immergendo lo spettatore in un'atmosfera di contemplazione e meraviglia. Il viaggio, attraverso immagini oniriche e suggestive, si trasforma in un'esperienza metafisica, dove il confine tra realtà e sogno si dissolve. L'opera sfida le percezioni convenzionali, suggerendo che la vera comprensione di sé può emergere solo attraverso l'incontro con l'ignoto e l'indefinito. Echoes of an Untitled Glass non è solo un cortometraggio, ma un percorso interiore che invita a guardare oltre la superficie e ad abbracciare la complessità dell'essere umano.

Echoes of an Untitled Glass evocatively juxtaposes the concept of the real with that of the dreamlike, narrating an intricate and fascinating journey filled with symbolism and epiphanies that lead the traveler into an elusive and mysterious reality. The short film stimulates deep reflections on the analysis and determination of the self, depicting a solitary individual who splits and silently observes themselves, captivated by iconographies of saints and undefined apparitions. Each scene is an invitation to explore the subconscious, to question one's own essence and identity, immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of contemplation and wonder. The journey, through dreamlike and suggestive images, transforms into a metaphysical experience where the boundary between reality and dream dissolves. The work challenges conventional perceptions, suggesting that true self-understanding can only emerge through encountering the unknown and the indefinite. Echoes of an Untitled Glass is not just a short film but an inner journey that invites one to look beyond the surface and embrace the complexity of the human being.
