Federico Protto

Collaborator, Performance, Costume

Federico Protto´s artistic practice unfolds across the realms of performance, sound, installation, and research. Within my works, diverse practices such as choreography, music, fashion, sculpture, and text converge and intertwine with their personal South American heritage. This gives rise to a unique and dynamic style of installations.
