About<br />
Our collective and biological memory, the idea we have of<br />
ourselves, others, the space in which we live, and aggregations<br />
rituals affect the connection between us and others. Words,<br />
sounds, and images are the basis of coexistence and are<br />
fundamental to creating dialogues, sharing, and progress.<br />
Every human being has those elements to create his reality<br />
confirming that every human is a creator, an artist.<br />
Involving different kinds of communities and groups of<br />
people, and embracing inner speeches, my artistic research<br />
shows social experiences as a simple representation of the<br />
eternal changing of life in a continuous dialogue with our own<br />
spaces. Using moving images and words, referring to specific<br />
human conditions (in choosing participants of my videos and<br />
my actions), this representation lets emerge the emotional<br />
and spiritual dimensions creating a real connection with the<br />
world in which we live and within us.<br />
Waking Dreams<br />
Indigo (7’57’’, single-channel video) is the story of humans<br />
who lost their trust in the Higher Powers: Chiron, Water and<br />
Time. There is just one Believer, but if she is dreaming,<br />
desiring or remembering we will never know.<br />
Made in four different languages (English, Dutch, German<br />
and French), it is divided into five chapters.<br />
Shadow is part of Deep Blue Sea EP by R.E.A (Andrea Frahn)<br />
Inspired by the long shadows of the midnight sun, this video<br />
is a collaboration between video art and pop music.<br />
D.A.N.L. (1’22’’, single channel video) is a video made of<br />
thirty-one different skies. A voice-over tells poetically a<br />
personal violent experiences that my body told me during<br />
silence moments.<br />
My artistic practice, after my staying at <strong>Arteles</strong> Creative<br />
Center, is in changing mode: if before I was more focus on<br />
reality, now I am opening my research to dreams, poetry and<br />
fantasy, that till now I was hiding to my self even if they were<br />
present latently in my actions, thoughts and work.
