Paul Turano

Assistant Professor in Visual and Media Arts, Emerson

\_My creative projects encompass a broad range of approaches to media making that include single channel film and video works, installation, and interactive web based and locative work. I use film and video as poetic tools for exploring the human condition, incorporating subjects as close as my back porch and as far away as the planet Mars. Often I employ autobiography, subjective reportage, and essay forms as strategies for examining the larger issues that both intrigue and challenge me. Not unlike the fine arts approach of painters or photographers, I often work in series organized by specific media forms and shared themes. Much of my work investigates the complex relationship we have with our environment – our human ecology – in both local and global ways. \_ Get his mobile on the website [Wander Wonder Wildness](http://www.wanderurbanwilds.com/ "") about "Chance encounters and insights inspired by walking through Boston’s public parks and greenways—known as urban wilds."
