 Wearing an A without fear / Northeast passage, surfing waves

2015
Installation at Villa Pacchiani, Santa Croce sull'Arno, Italy, produced for the exhibition "Terranauti" curated by Ilaria Mariotti and Angelika Stepken
Wearing an A without fear: Miniatures painted on 35 mm slides, (varnish on polyurethane), 35 mm slide projectors
Northeast passage, surfing waves: Chalk, acrylic and fabric on wood. Chalk on polyurethane. Variable dimensions.

The installation consists in an area created by the crossing projection of three painted 35mm slides miniatures against adjacent walls. The work involves the spectators in a space crossover, conveying them as witness of the concept of transformation. Within the work, three painted 35mm slides miniatures are projected resembling paintings hanged to the wall, showing the remote characteristics of matter, such as gestures, colours and shapes, but not its consistency. Although not “presented”, matter is “present” in the room, as the not visible part in the installation’s system, while immateriality is “presented” in the way that matter should be, as a painting. Immateriality substitutes matter by withdrawing its consistency? The spectator lives the transformation of a painting as status and subject of the work. Discovering the paintings within an “in between” state and its process of mutation, the spectators activate the state of transformation.
