Bruno Gruppalli reveals in each new body of work a moment, a temporal cut, of the exquisite corpse that governs his life and art. He is permeable to his surroundings, absorbing and collecting, like a sort of container or universe, readings, images, experiences, places, and materials, only to later release ideas, moments, and fictions. Similar to surrealist poems, each new production connects with previous processes through non-linear, non-literal, indirect connections, forming an unstable and contradictory identity.

Nonetheless, it’s possible to identify certain thematic or conceptual continuities in his works, such as his interest in theater, fiction, artifice, and language. Bridging social psychology, semiotics, and art history, Gruppalli reflects on language and its manifestation in human interaction. Much like in absurd theater, his works do not provide the expected answers; instead, they leave interpretation and analysis to us. His work can be disconcerting, rich in meanings, silent, playful, and profoundly schizophrenic, serving as an almost autobiographical mirror of his own mental or emotional state. Without a defined medium, moving between installation, sculpture, drawing, collage, and photography, his work finds its sense in the constant oscillation between moments of fiction (as if they were stage sets or props for an action) and their transformation back into art objects.
