About

Michele Lorusso (Puerto Vallarta, 1994) explora el potencial discursivo del espejo, abordando tanto en su dimensión material como simbólica. Para él, este objeto se convierte en una herramienta que le posibilita especular y visualizar narrativas relacionadas con la identidad, la dualidad, el futuro y la memoria. Su práctica artística se centra en la creación de espacios, dispositivos y momentos de confrontación, catarsis y reflexión, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo, utilizando diversas tácticas, como ejercicios de escritura e imaginación. Lorusso se interesa especialmente por el lenguaje poético, que se manifiesta en sus obras a través de instalaciones, esculturas, fotografías y performances, cuestionando la fragilidad de la existencia al abordar situaciones de crisis colectivas, conflictos afectivos y la subjetividad humana. Sus investigaciones se materializan en proyectos que van desde programas epistolares hasta gráfica expandida, intervenciones públicas, procesos comunitarios y esculturas participativas.

Se gradúa de su maestría (MFA) en CalArts (2025). Estudió Literatura y Creación Literaria en su licenciatura, Casa Lamm (CDMX) y en la Universidad Naropa (Boulder, CO). También estudió fotografía y cine experimental en la Escuela Activa (CDMX) y la Universidad de Colorado.

Fue invitado a ser artista residente en LACMA (enero-agosto de 2025). Ha activado eventos con anonymous gallery en parques públicos en NY, lecturas poéticas en Performance Space NY y ejercicios epistolares al future en bibliotecas, granjas y museos. Es miembro fundador y codirector de VISA PROJECTS, un proyecto y vehículo curatorial para la exhibición de una generación de artistas mexicanos en Estados Unidos. También forma parte del colectivo Grupo Ñ con Sophia Le Fraga y Pedro Verdin, un colectivo de artistes latines del programa de arte MFA de CalArts, 2025. Actualmente, desarrolla un proyecto de arte público en Los Ángeles (California)
