MARULA DI COMO

• Interdisciplinary artist working across installation, object, photography, performance, site-specific, participatory and collaborative processes. The tension between image and language, time, transformation and utopia are core concerns of her practice. She explores the relationships between human beings, nature and built space, investigating how cultural and social systems manifest in everyday urban structures, and many of her works materialise in concrete gestures of change and in open spaces for collective experience.
