Projects
- ControlIn the context of a reflection about the overwhelming amount of advertising messages and subliminal stimuli that hit the individual every day - not only in the corporate or consumeristic sphere but also, and possibly more worringly,under a political, sociological, and ideological point of view - the audio/video installation Control questions the extent to which the choices and behaviours of individuals living in a "regulated" social context are the result of personal independent decisions or rather seemlessly conditioned by well-calibrated external influences in disguise. Hinting at William Borroughs' Cut-Ups, Control makes use of disorienting editing techniques, dizzying low-frequency pure sound waves and discordant imagery associations. The apparatus through which the video is presented, i.e. the big black gift box which winks at Flusser's theories, further reinforces the idea of control on the behaviour of individuals. The “gift” look of the box bears an intrinsic value of attraction for the receivers, and “challenges” their control on whether to assume an awkwardly uncomfortable position in order to fully interact with the audiovisual content or not.
- Impressions I & IIThe two series Impressions I & II are the result of an experimental project carried out while researching the concepts of vision (as a merely chemical/physiological/electrical process), perception (which entails the subjective interpretation of the human psyche), and visual memory of a cinematographic product. They are one-layer, single long exposures taken from different feature films. The output images of this delicate procedure remind of colour block paintings, as if they were the result of layered soft and long brush strokes of paint on canvas. However, at a more attentive examination, they reveal a plethora of latent images which come alive depending on different variables such as the point of view and viewing distance of the audience, how external light sources reflect on the pearl surface of the print, and the familiarity that the viewer has with the feature film used as a subject. The eight non-representational photographs are the outcome of a “visual synthesis” performed through the medium that best imitates our sense of sight: photography. However, it is interesting to notice how photography cannot emulate the “perception” side of the process of visual elaboration of a film, which human beings perform through their differently wired brain and psyche, making their “personal synthesis” of a film subjective, arbitrary and extremely varied. The photographs, sized 24”x36”, are printed on pearl glossy paper, in order to accentuate the perceptive depth and the way dominant/recessive colours and lights/shadows play a role in each shot. 4 of the prints were exhibited at the Laundry Gallery in London during the exhibition "You're the reason our kids are ugly" - March 2015.
