About
Luciana Luthi is a Brazilian transdisciplinary artist based in Winterthur, Switzerland. She works with live electronic sound composition, voice, movement, and Minimal Circus, investigating memory, ancestry, the female body, and altered states of perception.
Her materials are the body, field recordings, analog synthesizers, and real-time processing. Her research engages with spectralism, hauntology, and liminality.
Her work has been presented in Brazil, Switzerland, Austria, France, Canada, and India.

Sound and dance performance · 2026 · work in progress
A body that listens, unfolding as passage between presence and absence. Voice, breath, and internal sounds amplified through contact and air microphones. What is inaudible comes forward. What is internal becomes shared.

Sound performance · 2025
Created for blind and visually impaired audiences. Motion capture and machine learning models convert bodily movement into fractal sound structures in real time. The sonic field is generated by the body rather than played back to it, so that sound and vibration become the means of orientation in space.

Sound performance · 2024–ongoing
An excavation of memory. Seven surgical layers opened during cesarean birth became the starting point. Live voice, field recordings, plants as sound sources via sensors, and analog synthesis. The body is not the subject of the work. It is the instrument.
