The work of Leticia Bernaus (b. Argentina) is a subtly provocative investigation of the contemporary link between the natural and the cultural. She works with moving image, photography, performance, installation and writing, exposing the human body as both a boundary and a medium through which we interact with the world. Bernaus superimposes materials and formats, dissolving the borders between animal and mineral, immaterial and physical, documentary and fiction. Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Italy, England, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Australia and Canada. Bernaus received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2019. She has been awarded the UIC University Fellowship (2017 - 2019), the IILA - Fotografia 2017 Prize and residency in Rome (2017, 2018), the Illinois Arts Council (2020), and the Chicago Artists Coalition BOLT residency (2019 - 2020). She lives and works between Villa María, Argentina and Chicago, United States.
