Zjana Muraro
Artistic Statement
I love physics and books, solving mysteries, and keeping secrets. I sometimes work alone and sometimes collectively with others, in dialogue with humans and non-humans. Somewhere in between dreaming up ideas and experimenting in the studio, I bring what I can to touch those with me in the past, present, and future and see what might emerge in the space between us. I make dance and performances for live concerts, Virtual (VR) and Augmented (AR) Reality. Welcome to my creative space! As an artist, performer, and writer, I blend social experiments, live performance, and digital media to create research-driven, multimedia and immersive performances. My work often plays with audience expectations using humour to convey political concerns. Join the list to stay updated on my projects, workshops, and performances and discover other artists I admire.
