Manuela Pecorari is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her work focusses on the limitations of spoken language and the need to exist in the interstices between self and the universal, between time and memory. She employs different entry-points to explore these themes, and her current practice is process-based, with an emphasis on video- documenting, auto-biographical writing, and marks on paper with watercolour, pen or pastel.
With a fascination for the philosophy of Yoga, fairytales and folklore, Manuela is bringing her physical body in her work by exploring somatic practices, embodied movement, and time-based interactions with landscapes. She holds a BA in scenography and an MA in collaborative theatre-making, and the interest in spatiality has remained crucial in her investigation, even outside of canonical theatre space.
