She started her artistic carreer studying Contemporary Art at the Free University of Bolzano/Bozen (IT), with a focus in photography and installations. The exchange sememster at Bezalel Academy of Jerusalem led Luisa to drop bidimensional, static, framed means of representation. For this reason, sound and radio became her priviledged extensions. She moved to Bologna to work for Neuradio where she also realized the work ALhmesde for the research project 'Towards The Realm Of Materiality – Designing Philip K. Dick’s Non- Existing Devices Through Transmedia Processes'. Thereafter, she deepened the political aspect of her art by studying Applied Human Rights at Angewandte (Vienna, AT).
During her training in human rights, she encountered an overbearing presence of "objective" beautifully-written statements dominating the legal sphere of minority protection. This experience drove Luisa into the physical rituals of social dances as informal reactions to socio-political phenomena. More specifically, she is currently engaging with underground house dance culture as a response to below-ground gender-based oppressions.
Growing as a dancer and sound-based artist, she has performed in various spaces in Vienna such as Brunnenpassage, Dschungel Theaterhaus, SoHo Studios. She won the 'Dance Web' residency program at ImPulsTanz 2024 with mentor Isabel Lewis.
Her practice as an artist is directed at the nuances of communication with seemingly distant planets, geographically, socially or chronologically. In this, autobiographical archives play a significant role, weaving intimate obsessions into the fabric of politically dense discourses.
For Luisa, dance serves as a space to articulate forbidden emotions, nameless concepts, and urgent needs of the human body in a way that embraces the complexities in which they are found, without ex -plain
-ing.
