Bruno explores the intersections of film, the visual arts, and architecture. Her seminal work Atlas of Emotion: Journeys in Art, Architecture, and Film (Verso, 2002) won the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz Book Award in Culture and History – a prize awarded to “the world’s best book on the moving image” – and has provided new directions for film and visual studies. Atlas was also honored as Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association, and named a Book of the Year in 2003 by the Guardian. Its mobility theory has inspired a new journal of visual culture, Aria, published in English and Italian. Her new book on art and film, Public Intimacy: Architecture and the Visual Arts, was published by MIT Press in 2007. Bruno has published four other books. Jane and Louise Wilson: A Free and Anonymous Monument (Film and Video Umbrella and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, 2004) examines the multi-screen art installation of the Turner Prize nominees. Streetwalking on a Ruined Map (Princeton University Press, 2002), a journey through modernity and cultural memory, won the 1995 Katherine Singer Kovács Book Award from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies for best book in film studies. Off Screen was devoted to women and film in Italy (Routledge, 1988), and Immagini allo schermo (Rosenberg & Sellier, 1991) was named one of the 50 Best Books of the First 100 Years of Film History. Her essays on contemporary art are published in international books, art monographs such as Isaac Julien (Irish Museum of Modern Art, 2005), and exhibition catalogs of the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Bruno lectures internationally on visual culture, including, recently, at universities in Europe and Asia, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Dia Center for the Arts in New York, and the Tate Modern. She is featured in Visual Culture Studies: Interviews with Key Thinkers (ed. Marquard Smith, Sage, 2008) as one of the most influential intellectual working today in visual studies.
