Data and contact details

Anna Laura Longo is a pianist, performer, visual artist, essayist, and poet. Hers is a distinctly multidisciplinary nature, marked by a singular dynamism of thought and careful formal exploration. She began her concert career very early, primarily as a soloist and also in chamber music groups, earning numerous awards in national and international competitions. At the same time, she pursues a rich artistic-visual exploration and research that flexibly spans the fields of installation and performance, with numerous interventions, exhibitions, and sound projects. A creator of composite installations and multi-material works, she fosters a marked multi-sensoriality. She has received numerous awards for her work, which is based on the integration and effective juxtaposition of aesthetics and languages. She is particularly interested in the transformations and the emancipatory and refounding role of the arts, positioning herself on a comparative and amalgamating plane. The principle of continuity between sounds, spaces, signs, forms, and materials is strongly emphasized in his works.The materials he works with primarily include iron, fabrics, eco-leather, latex, plastic, gels of varying consistencies, and organic materials, often resulting in solutions that create veritable fusions of words, signs, sounds, and materials. He has received numerous awards and has had the opportunity to engage with diverse audiences both nationally and internationally. His piano recitals, multisensory performances, and exhibitions and stage installations have spanned a variety of stages, emerging as genuine investigations into the "depths and subtleties" of perception in the broadest sense. They are grounded in an unwavering commitment to a vision of art—and everyday life—intended as an adventurous journey toward progressive and intentional inner enrichment.

Some of his works are included in the collections of the following museums, archives, and documentation centers: the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid (Spain), MALI in Lima (Peru), the Museo Moderno in Buenos Aires (Argentina), the Musée Les Abattoirs in Toulouse (France), Castello di Rivoli (Italy), the Venezuelan Book Museum in Caracas (Venezuela), the Italian Cultural Institute in Tokyo (Japan), MUSAC in León, and the Helga de Alvear Museum in Cáceres (Spain), and the Jan Michalski Foundation in Montricher (Switzerland).

As a multidisciplinary artist and independent researcher, she will participate in the second edition of the "International Congress "Bodies, Materials, and Other Rests," organized by the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM - Faculty of Philosophy and Letters), in December 2025, presenting the artistic project titled "El residuo es Forma."

In the journal ITAMAR, a branch of the University of Valencia, she has published two extensive essays addressing the "distributive quality" of materials as well as the criteria of verticality and horizontality, introducing the concept of "reinforced crossing," with particular reference to the connections between music, painting, and architecture.
