Antonella Liuba  Picini's creative work

LIUBA: Performance and Video Artist Engaged in Relational and Interactive Practices

LIUBA is an internationally active Italian artist whose practice focuses on performance art, video, photography, and site-specific projects. Based between Milan and New York, she has also developed significant work in Berlin and other global cities. Her artistic approach intersects with anthropology and sociology, often using her own body as a medium to investigate contemporary social dynamics, human rights, and the relationship between the individual and public space. LIUBA’s portfolio is characterized by long-term research projects such as The Slowly Project, where she explores the concept of time and social rhythm through slow-motion public interventions. Her work has been showcased at prestigious venues including the Venice Biennial, PAC Milan, and Art Basel. By integrating interactivity and multimedia elements, LIUBA creates evocative experiences that challenge viewers to reflect on their environment and social constraints. Each project is meticulously documented through high-quality video and photography, bridging the gap between ephemeral live performance and lasting visual artworks. Her dedication to human rights is evident in projects like Refugees Welcome, which emphasize social inclusion and collective participation. LIUBA's work continues to influence the contemporary art scene through its unique blend of poetic vision and rigorous socio-anthropological inquiry.
