WHEN? WHERE? WHY? HOW? WHO?

The work is conceived as a piece halfway between the fresco and the diorama. It’s a fresco because it occupies a space large enough to be immediately picked up by the viewer’s gaze; and a diorama because it develops like a sort of ribbon running round the top of the walls, up until they form corners with the ceiling. This tight, horizontal dimension seems to stress its temporality, like a tape enveloped round the perimeter of the room, hinting to an (abstract) narration. There are two alternating elements to this ‘narration’: there’s the flowing of water given by the flux of a watercolour, and the flowing of air given by a white paste containing white feathers. The white of the paste is backcoloured with a series of reds which reverberate at its hind, creating a luminous aura which changes depending on the natural lighting in the room.
