Tania & Lazlo, Visual Art and Photography

Tania Brassesco & Lazlo Passi Norberto are an Italian artist duo formed in 2009. They work in the field of visual art and contemporary photography, and are currently based between New York and Venice, Italy.

Their photographic artwork is a fusion of photography, cinema, performance and installation. They create fictional scenes using the photographic media’s “perception of reality” in an altered way. The photographs are originally made creating full-size scale installation from their sketches and ideas, rendered in detail like a movie set. Tania & Lazlo’s work has been internationally recognized with publications, awards and exhibitions. They exhibited in galleries, foundations and museums across Europe, the United States and Asia, and their artworks are part of prestigious public collections.

During their Beyer Residency, Tania & Lazlo will create a new artwork. Four Arts members and the public will be invited to studio visits to take a look at the creation process and understand their artistic approach.
