[english follow] In occasione della settimana dell’Arte a Torino, Cripta747 è felice di presentare l’Open Studio di Eleonora Luccarini, vincitrice dell'edizione 2023 di Cripta747 Residency Programme. L’Open Studio si configura come uno spazio di ricerca e condivisione attorno a poesia, suono e storytelling visuale, medium che Eleonora Luccarini utilizza come strumenti di indagine e di rappresentazione della pluralità del sé.
Nel lavoro di Luccarini la scrittura è mediata dalla creazione di alter ego, individualità ibride che accostano alla biografia dell’artista tracce delle proprie identità parallele, in un costante scambio dinamico e ricco di ramificazioni. Concentrandosi sul rapporto tra realtà e rappresentazione, in questa occasione l’artista ci parla del suo alter ego Milkdromeda, aliena dalle sembianze umane e protagonista di un film sci-fi fittizio creato alla fine degli anni 90', perduto e mai concluso.
Con un gesto meta-narrativo, Luccarini evolve l’alter ego da personaggio interpretato a interprete, trasformandola nell’attrice androgina di mezza età che ha impersonato il ruolo anni prima. Oggi scrive poesie per riconnettersi al suo passato perduto, decostruendo le finzioni interiorizzate che lei e Luccarini condividono sui concetti di speranza e nichilismo.
Il pubblico è invitato a prendere parte ad un’anteprima del progetto, un'installazione che raccoglie le sperimentazioni preliminari elaborate dall’artista durante i primi mesi di ricerca, nel corso dei quali l’artista ha avviato una collaborazione con la cantante Maria Valentina Chirico, l’illustratrice Sathyan Rizzo e il sound engineer Nick Foglia.
Poesia spoken word, suoni analogici e canto lirico si ibridano creando un’esperienza audio immersiva e spazializzata che, nei suoi adattamenti successivi, andrà a costituire la colonna sonora del prossimo film di Luccarini, output finale del suo lavoro in residenza presso Cripta747.

On the occasion of Turin Art Week, Cripta747 is pleased to present the Open Studio of Eleonora Luccarini, winner of the 2023 edition of Cripta747 Residency Programme.
The Open Studio is shaped as a space for research and sharing around poetry, sound and visual storytelling, mediums Eleonora Luccarini uses to investigate and represent the plurality of self. In Luccarini's work, writing is mediated by the fabrication of alter egos, hybrid individualities that combine traces of their own separate identities with the artist's biography, in a constant and dynamic exchange full of ramifications.
Focusing on the relationship between reality and representation, on this occasion, the artist tells us about her alter ego Milkdromeda, a human-looking alien and main character of a fictional sci-fi film shot in the late 1990s, lost and never finished. Through a meta-narrative gesture, Luccarini evolves her alter ego from performed character to performer, turning her into the androgynous middle-aged actress who played the role years before. Now she writes poetry to reconnect to her long-lost past, while deconstructing the internalized fictions shared by both her and Luccarini about the concepts of hope and nihilism.
The audience is invited to participate in a preview of the project, an installation collecting the preliminary experiments developed by the artist during her first months of research, during which the artist started a collaboration with the singer Maria Valentina Chirico, the illustrator Sathyan Rizzo and the sound engineer Nick Foglia.
Spoken word poetry, analog sounds, and opera singing merge to create an immersive and spatialized audio experience that, in its later adaptations, will constitute the soundtrack of Luccarini's next film, the final output of her work as a resident at Cripta747.
Eleonora Luccarini Eleonora Luccarini (Bologna, 1993) lives and works in Amsterdam and Bologna. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Università IUAV di Venezia, and Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She is currently artist-in-residence at Cripta747 in Turin.
Luccarini’s research is interdisciplinary, systemic and focused on the performative potential of language, mainly explored through fiction, non-linear storytelling practices and the crafting of alter egos, often mediated by poetry writing.
