Alessia Taló (1999, IT) is a visual artist currently based in the Nertherlands.
Her artistic practice, she explores the body as a site of emotional memory. Her body becomes the source of material for her artistic research, tracing the residues of personal, family and cultural traumas that have shaped her identity.
My work is influenced by topics such as family and cultural heritage their role in shaping one’s identity — and feminist practices.I’m interested in how memories and emotions linked to these experiences can trigger the creative process and how they can resonate in embodied practices.
While my background lies in painting, I also experiment with different media including installation, video and performance. Nevertheless I always carry a profound connection to the liquid state of painting, viewing it as a methodology for embracing fluidity, movement, and adaptation.
I am delving into sound, its influence on the body and its physical manifestation through vibrations. Through the use of DIY techniques, I attempt to create tools to practise empathy and care.
I invite the audience to engage in intimate experience with these materials.
She also a member of Crow Stitch Collective.
