pool7

For the first time, Turato – known for her unique approach to appropriated language and word-based art – uses her own texts and handwriting instead of typography. In pool7, Turato likens her longstanding “consumption” of countless found words to physiological processes such as “devouring,” “digesting,” and “retching.” Her own body becomes the main source and vessel of language, handwriting, and voice, as well as of repressed emotion.


pool7 offers precise observations of an era saturated with images, surfaces, screens, and AI-generated content, while drawing attention to changes in linguistic form and content and the shifts in meaning that follow. Here, language in its conventional sense begins to fracture, giving way at moments to “glitch” elements that appear like fleeting “disturbances,” opening up other dimensions of experience.


pool7 is Turato’s most radical and personal performance to date, in which the artist methodically dismantles forms of culturally over-engineered language until the words collapse, opening up space for new modes of expression.



Premiered in 2025 at Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) London pool7 has since been staged at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and at Kunsthalle Wien / Tanzquartier Wien in Vienna. The performance in Berlin constitutes the culmination of this cycle. Each presentation of pool7 is unique, as the work continues to evolve and take on new forms in every context.
