Bio
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.


Statement
I explore the complexities of human perception, with a research process that is continually evolving. Through overlays and blurs, I investigate the concepts of identity and origin, inviting reflection on the on individual identity.
I analyze the subtle boundaries between deeper realities and apparent manifestations, a theme that emerges in many of my projects, in which I document the events that shape the present.
My research extends to the transformation of human interactions and the environment through digital media. My practice incorporates a concept of dualism, engaging in hybrid research that interfaces with a sphere dedicated to intimacy and often connects to significant events. These projects primarily communicate through iconic images and their transformation, portraying the “body” as an ephemeral identity linked to rhythms, rules, and perceptions.

Lettere
La meditazione è fondamentale nel processo di metabolizzazione dei ricordi, in quanto aiuta a comprendere ed elaborare le esperienze personali. Questa pratica si basa su tecniche che focalizzano l'attenzione e sviluppano una maggiore consapevolezza di sé. Nel contesto della psicologia moderna, la meditazione è utilizzata come strumento terapeutico per affrontare traumi che influenzano profondamente la vita delle persone. I traumi sono esperienze emotive disturbanti che lasciano un’impronta duratura sulla psiche di un individuo, manifestandosi come ricordi intrusivi o difficoltà emotive. La meditazione serve come mezzo di guarigione, aiutando a rielaborare i ricordi traumatici e a trovare pace interiore. Questa pratica permette agli individui di affrontare i loro ricordi in un ambiente sicuro, riducendo l’impatto emotivo negativo. Attraverso la meditazione, si accede a livelli più profondi di consapevolezza, consentendo di integrare le esperienze passate in una nuova narrazione personale, fondamentale per la risoluzione del trauma. 
Lettere è un progetto che incarna questi principi, rappresentando una trascrizione di momenti di meditazione dedicati al concetto di perdita. L'idea centrale è catturare una narrazione non lineare ma un'esplorazione dei momenti di stasi e riflessione. Attraverso un approccio performativo, Lettere traduce l'esperienza meditativa in un linguaggio visivo.
La gestualità è fondamentale nel progetto, trasformando l'esperienza emotiva in arte visiva. Le lettere non sono semplici trascrizioni, ma opere che incorporano macchie, pieghe e incisioni, un dialogo interiore tra corpo e mente. Questi elementi visivi rappresentano la complessità delle emozioni umane, mentre cercano un equilibrio tra ordine e caos. Lettere è una riflessione sulla natura della perdita e della guarigione. Attraverso la meditazione e una rappresentazione visiva evocativa, il progetto offre un modo di comprendere i traumi personali, sottolineando l'importanza della consapevolezza e della trasformazione interiore.



Meditation is fundamental in the process of metabolizing memories because it helps individuals understand and process personal experiences. This practice is based on techniques that focus attention and develop greater self-awareness. In modern psychology, meditation is used as a therapeutic tool to address trauma that profoundly affects people's lives.
Traumas are disturbing emotional experiences that leave a lasting imprint on an individual's psyche, often manifesting as intrusive memories or emotional difficulties. Meditation serves as a means of healing, helping individuals to reprocess traumatic memories and find inner peace. It allows people to confront their memories in a safe environment, reducing the negative emotional impact. Through meditation, one can access deeper levels of awareness, allowing past experiences to be integrated into a new personal narrative, which is essential for trauma resolution.
Lettere is a project that embodies these principles by transcribing moments of meditation dedicated to the concept of loss. The central idea is to capture a non-linear narrative, exploring moments of stasis and reflection. Through a performative approach, Lettere translates the meditative experience into a visual language.
Gestures play a fundamental role in the project, transforming emotional experiences into visual art. The letters are not mere transcriptions but works that incorporate stains, folds, and incisions, creating an inner dialogue between body and mind. These visual elements represent the complexity of human emotions while seeking a balance between order and chaos.
Stains represent memories that, although disorganized, are an integral part of our identity. Folds suggest individual resilience, while incisions evoke the scars left by trauma.
Lettere is a reflection on the nature of loss and healing. Through meditation and evocative visual representation, the project offers a way to understand personal traumas, highlighting the importance of awareness and inner transformation.
