Laura Pugno

Born in Trivero (BI — Italy) in 1975.
Lives and works in Turin.

Laura Pugno’s works invite viewers to engage with landscapes and explore the increasingly blurred boundaries between human and non-human. They stimulate contemplation of the land as an extension of the knowable or as its limit. Her artistic practice is process-oriented and involves direct engagement with nature and its elements. She works with various media and materials, including drawing, photography, sculpture, and video. Her investigation of environmental and ecological themes is accomplished through the interaction between art and science, a dialogue that has become essential in recent years for addressing the loss of natural territories.
