about

bianca turner works interdisciplinarily between manifestations of video, video art, video
performances, video installations and expanded cinema, audiovisual actions and interventions
urban, video mapping, and also collaborates with musicians, composers, performers and others
artists composing with video projection and visual composition, bringing research that
improves the notion of archive, image and body and their frictions as language.

His research explores the notion of the archive as an imperialist imposition, the expansion of time-
space through the use of audiovisual resources and video projection in relation to the body.

London) and Master in “Scenography” from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (2013,

His work is mentioned in Giselle Beiguelmann's publication 'Agosto-Impulso
Historiographical', commissioned for the exhibition 'Meta-Archive 1964-1985' at SESC Belenzinho
in São Paulo, curated by Ana Pato. In this publication, Giselle makes the first translation
from Hal Foster's influential essay 'An Archival Impulse' in October magazine, contextualizing
translation into Brazilian artistic production to discuss the use of archival research and
of the materialization of archives in art, in which he cites the work of Bianca Turner in place of
Tacita Dean.
