Bruna Esposito 1960–

Bruna Esposito was born in 1960 in Rome, where she lives and works today. She received her diploma in fine arts in 1979 and studied mosaic at CISIM in Carrara in 1990. She studied aerial dance with Batya Zamir in 1982 and minimal dance with Sally Gross in 1986 in New York. Esposito participated in the Whitney Museum’s ISP in New York in 1985.

Her works are multi-material and sensorial, engaging the senses of smell, sound, and touch: sculptures, videos, installations, performances, actions, site-specific projects, drawings, photographs, and collages. Allusive and at times ironic, Esposito’s works are realized with simple and ordinary materials and techniques and evoke the strength found in fragility.

While having since returned to her native Rome, Esposito has also lived in New York and West Berlin, and collaborated with artists, dancers, poets, and musicians.
