Archive.
A series of images, taken in the last ten years around the world, are presented as a visual background made up of inputs and experiences that the artist presents for the first time to the public.

Nature.
An amphitheater that houses a single five-meter long marble veining. As if we were to observe from above a huge black river flowing among the glaciers; deceived for a moment to be the protagonists of this representation, we realize to be a microscopic temporal and physical fraction of the planet earth’s evolution.

City.
Accumulated building materials; the same substances that our cities are made of, in this case, arranged horizontally, a rhythmic stratification that in this case builds two skeletons, two memories of the recent collective past.

Human race.
All enclosed within a shared network of communication. Omni-connected populations in a subtle game of voyeurism where the need to appear for the satisfaction of one’s ego surpasses the real danger of not knowing by whom one is really observed.
