Chiara Tubia

Born in Venice, Italy
1982

My Place Is Placeless My Trace Is Traceless
Multimedia installation, variable dimensions; 3 audio tracks:
60′ each looped; 3 horn loudspeakers; video performance
audio/video monitors; 52 strips of paper, 2019

The installation is composed of three parts: auditory, visual and experiential. For the sound part three audio sources simultaneously reproduce the sounds of the three most widespread religious traditions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, brought together as a metaphor of contemporary multiculturalism. The same sounds were diffused during a boat performance around the Venetian canals and streets, here on display through a video installation along with various phrases from religious texts installed into bookshelves.

Bio
Born in Venice, Italy, 1982, she obtained a degree in Visual Arts and an MA in Fashion. Her work attempts to merge Eastern and Western philosophies, religions, folklore, spirituality and science in order to unveil  the different facets of reality, oftentimes starting from her experiential system aimed at the awakening of  consciousness.
Her practice is articulated in multiple formal solutions combining different expressive languages ranging from installation, performance, multimedia, painting and sculpture. Tubia has participated in national and international art fairs; she has actualised multimedia site-specific installations in public spaces as well as performances and land-art interventions and collaborated with a number of multi-disciplinary realities.
