1995
Luana Vitra (°1995, Belo Horizonte, BR) was born and raised in the state of Minas Gerais, a region known for its monumental natural landscapes which is also profoundly marked by industrial mining activities. Therefore, she has always experienced the different possible manifestations of iron and soot. Her practice stems from processes that recognize the physical qualities and subtle contours of matter, and investigate the psycho-emotional infusion of landscapes. From compositions made with a wide range of materials, her objects and installations reconfigure universal symbols and elaborate others, especially invested in the physical and chemical properties of matter, evoking poetry, discussing subjectivities and raising political questions.
