Universo Tursi
This is a space where matter becomes a threshold.
Where couture, sculpture, sound and movement converge into living forms.
Each piece functions as a portal.
Not as an object to be observed, but as an experience to be entered.
Tursi’s work explores the subtle dialogue between the visible and the unseen.
Between the body and the energy that moves through it.
Between material precision and intuitive knowing.
Here, form is guided by sensation.
Textures hold memory.
Movement activates meaning.
This universe unfolds through wearable artefacts, immersive projects and performative encounters, inviting a deeper way of sensing, inhabiting and connecting.
Nikole Tursi is an Argentinian artist based in London. Her practice moves across millinery, couture, performance and immersive worlds, unfolding through a close relationship with material and perception.
Her work is guided by intuition, understood as a sensorial and philosophical tool. A way of reading reality beyond what is immediately visible. Creation unfolds as a process of listening, where forms are not imposed but revealed through making. Materials, sound, light, spatial presence and the human body are approached as interconnected systems, each carrying its own rhythm and intelligence.
Travel, landscapes and lived experiences play an essential role in her practice. Territories are not treated as backdrops but as active fields of exchange, shaping the work through encounters, dreams, memories and moments of synchronicity. Making becomes an act of translation, where subtle states, sensations and frequencies are gradually embodied into material form.
Her work resists fixed categorisation, expanding across wearable artefacts, performative encounters and immersive projects. Rather than offering narratives to be explained, the work proposes experiences to be sensed, inhabited and activated, inviting a slower, embodied form of attention.
Alongside her independent practice, Tursi has worked with international fashion houses and stage productions. Her work has been recognised by institutions such as Comité Colbert and UNESCO, and she is a member of the Michelangelo Foundation, the British Hat Guild, the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective and the Crafts Council UK.
Her practice continues to evolve through cyclical processes of experimentation and collaboration, building living systems where material, movement, territory and perception remain in constant dialogue.
