I hear you, I hear you.,

Turato’s practice explores the volatility of language, transforming the information she absorbs daily—from articles, conversations, subtitles, and advertising slogans—into linguistic-visual scripts for videos, installations, artist books, murals, and spoken word performances. All that surrounds her finds its way back into her work. In this manner, her approach is democratic: political statements coexist with Kardashians quotes, revealing subtle synchronisms in social relations, marketing strategies, consumer behavior, and personal subjectivity. Bold typography is a hallmark of Turato’s style, but her own handwriting often appears in sprawling script across her work, alluding to a sentimental attachment to the artist’s notebook or the private moments of rehearsal. Moreover, it immortalizes a means of communication that threatens to dissipate with the ubiquity of digital correspondence. Turato channels the textual hysteria emitted from our smartphones to accentuate the volatility of language when stripped of context. Her work speaks to an era where language loses its informative role, and words are abstracted from meaning.
