Valentina Vetturi
Performance, Sound, Text & New Media
At the origin of her works, there are extended research processes, performative in nature, and immersive experiences in heterogeneous worlds (hacker culture, law, music, …). Outcome range from a theatre scene to the daily task of writing on a commuter train, from a sound composition to a spoken symphony, from a publication or a video to an environmental sculpture.
Valentina is at ease with employing disparate registers and disciplines. Collaborates closely with performers, such as dancers, chess players, choir singers, orchestra directors, sound engineers, all actively involved in the making of each project. Vetturi refers to her works as a “guided improvisation” responding to space and the public.
