Luca Bosani

Luca Bosani (b. 1990; they/he) is a multimedia artist whose practice combines sculpture, fashion, and performance to question and challenge traditional gender roles.

Throughout 2024, they were the Victoria & Albert Museum x Adobe artist-in-residence, where they researched the history of heels and platform shoes. In December 2024, their research culminated in a post-gender installation featuring nine sculptural shoes and a large-scale performance currently on view in the V&A South Kensington Museum’s main galleries.

In 2017, during their Contemporary Art Practice (Performance) MA at the Royal College of Art, constrained by existing gender and artistic categorisation, Bosani conceived the concept of ‘UPOs’: Unidentified Performing Objects, artworks that reject categorisation and sit in between definitions (shoes/sculptures – garments/paintings); ever-changing, fluid and queer, they aim to transform both the wearer and the viewer.
