About works

Limorte's curatorial practice focuses on the relationship between art, corporeality and technology. From a transcultural perspective and with a strong interest in the philosophy of language, his projects explore, from media art, themes such as alienation, loneliness and death. As an art historian, he is currently researching the beginnings of video art in Japan.
