Hello world, call me luana.
I have a deeply rooted love and curiosity to explore the world, encounter new beautiful souls, share experiences and tenderness with all beings and enrich and help each other in order to make our world more sustainable and all over a more liveable and fair place.

It is difficult to describe oneself in a blank square space o a website but i wanna try.

I am an romanian interdisciplinary artist living in Vienna, 
currently studying Art at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.

My research and artistic practice ranges between installations, sound-art, public interventions, performing arts and experimental-film. 
Through these disciplines my work investigates on traces of the cosmic and terrestrial lifes and the creation of places functioning as catalysts for sociological, geopolitical, intimate, collective changes and experiences.

Through the lens of human and non-human, the rational and intuitional, the micro and the macro, the past and present, I aim to create through my work immersive and sensorial experiences, which seek to foster a consciousness of the interrelationship between the self, the other and the environment.
My ultimate aim is to strengthen the interrelationships among all living organisms in order to increase the empathy and care towards one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to explore culturs, to meet and know beautiful humans from everywhere,
to have new inputs, to widen my Horizont, to get to know new perspectives, get insights into the unknown, to grow as a person, to share with others, to learn from others, to give to others.

Couchsurfing seemed very interesting to me, so now I am here, looking forward to my first experiences

Interests

I am interested in the World.

Music, Movies, and Books

adoring and admiring very deeply the works of art created by Charlie Kaufmann, Stanley Kubrick and Anselm Kiefer,

It's difficult to limitate into music but those are some of the musical companions that I either keep coming back to, even after years or that are currently very present in my life
:swans, avishai cohen, tigran hamasyan, John Zorn, badbadnotgood, aphex twin, ennio morricone, vashti bunyan, velvet underground and good old jimi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I nearly dropped a slice of pizza on Putins bald head.
It almost happened, really.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
Therefore I believe that each and every person we interact with can teach us something.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a warm and open home with loads of instruments, which are open for you to use.
Especially during our jam sessions
my flatmate and I do regularly you are free to try out things outside of your musical comfort zone.
Communication through music is such a pure and honest Form of communication, so let's have a conversation.

I respect the need for privacy and the needed time for yourself (also for sure the full time schedules) , so a interaction during the stay is not needed. for sure it would preferable but I would be also glad to offer to anyone my warm home, and I would be glad if others would open theirs to me.

if you come to vienna I can offer you my home hopefully a interesting interaction and since I am very culture interested I could recommend you any time very up to date exhibitions and events in vienna.
Since I love to get lost even in my hometown, by now I have a very good insight into the most hidden, beautiful corners and local places of vienna.
