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.
