Daniela Franco works at the intersection of visual art, experimental writing, and pop culture, crafting pieces that question authorship, narrative, and perception. Her practice often takes the form of long-term fictions and collaborative projects that explore these boundaries. By reimagining everyday materials and experiences, she creates alternative realities that prompt reflection on the nature of storytelling and the construction of meaning. Franco’s projects are developed as long-term fictions in collaboration with writers and musicians. Through coincidences and the slight alteration of daily life, and using language as image and image as fiction, her research explores whether it is possible to create literature without writing. Her artistic approach is characterized by a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and a willingness to engage with diverse media and formats. By challenging traditional notions of authorship and narrative structure, she invites viewers to reconsider the ways in which stories are told and experienced. Her work encourages a deeper engagement with the processes of meaning-making and the fluidity of cultural expression. ...
