Dimensions adaptable to space
In the work presented, the multidimensionality of lives and revealing images structure the space
and elaborate the image through the photons that cross a precise point, projecting the shadow of
the creatures and things that exist in the microworld of a drop, revealing the invisible through light
and water, sources of life. SOTT’ACQUA reveals the present movement of the interior.
The movement, hindered by a constant atrophy of the body during its earthly process, is a tool
belonging to an ancestral investigation into the awareness of the present.
The sound that accompanies the projections and that envelops the space places a question at the
center of attention:
“Where do memory, space and landscape meet?”
In the error. In the present indecipherable. In the continuous flow of things. In the intangible and
the intelligible.
Movement is a projection of perception in which a stratification of temporal errors is possible,
understood as visual and perceptive smudges, non-forms whose boundaries mix.
The error, the invisible, the movement, eluding any exclusive language and relegated to a form,
therefore, creates new ways of seeing/seeing oneself and representing/self representing oneself.
Revelation.
Deformation.
The body revealed in movement expands, deforms, levitates in infinite space-time coordinates,
rewriting relationships and positions, becoming a non-spatial and timeless incorporeal error, a
conscious hybrid in the present time.
SOTT’ACQUA is proposed as an immersive installation, a performance of things and the hidden,
aimed at overcoming the psychophysical distance between the perceived image and its user,
trespassing on the infinite possibilities of looking in a simultaneous, continuously changing space.
A space that flows like the living waters of the Metauro.
A continuous formless flow of the present.
In a reverse perspective, the interior appropriates the visible and becomes an image.
SOTT’ACQUA, through the continuous and ever-evolving flow of the image, suggests that we are
points of view in a fluid chaos.
