Fausto Brusamolino Bio
Fausto Brusamolino is a lighting and visual artist currently living on Darug land, Australia.
Fausto devises lighting and generative visuals for live performances, filming, and creates art installations.
Fausto has created works and lit productions in traditional venues like theatres, concert halls and art galleries, alongside less conventional locations like multi level car parks, roof tops, large scale outdoor installations and abandoned locations.
In his work, lighting and video are dynamically manipulated in real time, following, supporting, gauging, enhancing the performance and the entire space as they happen, shift and unravel during each unique show.
Fausto's approach to lighting design organically embraces a wide range of visual and video techniques and uses Creative Coding to build custom made software, allowing a creative, engaging and unique control over the aesthetic of the work.
Creative Coding is used as a tangible platform for personal research, for prototyping visual solutions, and for real time control of lighting, video and scenic effects. Creative coding is implemented as an organic element of the show, and becomes a distinctive production asset to create stunning and unique aesthetics.
Fausto has designed shows, collaborated and worked for: Sydney Festival, Sydney Opera House, MONA, Adelaide Festival, Rising Festival, City Recital Hall, MCA, Biennale of Sydney, New Zealand International Arts Festival, Victoria Hunt, Justin Shoulder, Beth Orton, Lewis Major, The Cad Factory, Teatro Stabile di Torino and many, many more.
Fausto recently won the APDG 2022 Award for S/Words and Unfolding for the Best Lighting Design for a Live Performance.
