about
Giuliana Cunéaz creates parallel worlds by developing an autonomous language where the real data constitutes the sign track to imagine new spaces of knowledge. These are inclusive universes that meet the invisible.
In the 1990s, she worked on imagined space and then imagined body with a methodology that anticipates what will happen in the decades to come when science, nanotechnology, quantum physics and Artificial Intelligence will be imposed in a context where what we observe decrees its existence by making the invisible tangible. The 3D works created in 2005 are the expression of a total art that integrates all forms of language, from architecture to sculpture, painting to drawing.
The desire to broaden her field of vision led her to works of great complexity such as Zone Fuori Controllo (2011-2013) or Les Chercheurs de Lumière (I Cercatori di Luce, 2019-2021) in which it builds worlds using sophisticated nanotechnology tools. In addition to the social aspects, the numerous references to natural disasters and ecological disturbances (Zone Out of Control), what is evident is the creation of new visual hypotheses where the artist reinvents landscapes of ice or fire, creating futuristic forms that at the same time sink into the past.
In the three-screen film The Seekers of Light (The Seekers of Light), her ability to intercept places and natures hidden in invisible matter is evident. It’s not the fantastic that emerges, but possible worlds built around atoms and particles in an environment where actors, dancers and performers coexist with 3D images and go towards regeneration.
Sign and dream then find their synthesis in Sleeping Beauty (2023), an interactive installation that allows the viewer to live an individual experience through the use of artificial intelligence. There is no longer a single work to contemplate, but a visual process each time different, in the center of which is the personality of the viewer. Each person, lying on a bed designed by the artist with the inclusion of elements evoking the technological universe, is confronted with his own «dream» projected on a screen. The title of the work refers to Sleeping Beauty, the famous tale by Charles Perrault, with the difference that the viewer is asked to let himself be transported into a dreamlike universe without falling asleep. He himself triggers the process by writing a sentence on a tablet that is reworked according to a series of prompts defined by the artist. The result changes every time and the observer is left to visualize his own emotions. In the work of Giuliana Cunéaz, it is once again the gaze that chooses wonder in a visionary quest where the horizons of the visible and the invisible tend to overlap and multiply.
