Liliana Occhiuto

Opens Wed 2 Sept 2020
Runs 3 – 13 September 2020

We’re so happy to have mentored Liliana through the development of this work through our Annual Mentorship Program. Liliana is a Western Sydney based artist who works across numerous artistic disciplines to create emotionally evocative and immersive pieces suited to art installations, film and theatre work.

Constructed with the intent to connect with the listener, audio samples are combined with commonplace means of instrumentation to create non-conventional and conceptually rich pieces of sonic art. Elements of electronica, progressive rock, as well as the beauty in the sounds of everyday life are blended to help develop ambient environments that are texturally diverse and engaging.

Throughout her time as an artist and active collaborator, Liliana has created works that have been displayed across numerous institutions including Carriageworks, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, PACT. Occhiuto has also created multidisciplinary pieces and helped facilitate learning as part of the Creative Leadership in Learning Program for the Sydney Opera House.

Artist Statement

Tangible is an exhibition that explores solitude, touch, connection and yearning. I explore these ideas through the use of abstract photography, film and multimedia installations.

When considering the subject matter for this body of work, I chose to explore the depths of my inner world. 

Through the exploration of the internal drives both mental and physical, I use an eclectic approach to express personal truths relating to how I materialise the idea of connection. 

Throughout the creation of this body of work, the artist chose to deliberately play with photography, installation, and multimedia works within this exhibition.
