Ana Laura Lopez de la Torre is a conceptual and live artist whose work centres around participation, informal networks and the uses of public space as a platform for self-expression, diversity, and the co-existence of conflicting views.

Using the ephemeral, the overlooked and the underrated as the starting point, her work creates visible and unexpected connections between things, people and places. The rhetoric of conversation, participation and celebration are often deployed as a strategy for engagement, in which the public is invited to become an active contributor and collaborator to the work.

Her work is usually a direct response to the temporal and spatial context in which it is created and presented, and over the years it has evolved to take place largely beyond traditional art spaces.
