“On my back I carry my home”

“If I am going so fast how do I know where I am?”

“Where I am going?”

Are questions related to a journey. So we decided to summarize the three concepts talking about a travel. Visual and acoustic sensations gained during this trip are the modulating factors in this work. Both elements are thought up to express the emotions of someone who is travelling without knowing exactly where to go.

.music structure ideas

Environment sounds cover the entire length of the video.Modulating the amount of instrumental music and envi-ronment sounds we tried to build a linear sound-image experience of the traveller around.

PROJECT#2“The room you have never been in”

.nine illustrations exhibit at Magazzini Ligabue, IUAV, Venice.

The nine illustrations that compose “The room I’ve never been in” were printed in photographic paper and placed into a Plexiglas replica frame.The frame was build with fiberglass combined with alveolar polypropylene and it gives the same glossy sensation of the photographic paper creating an uni-form surface.

.preliminary sketch for “The room I have never been in”

Thinking about something could explain a “room I never been in” I immediately thought to draw something similar to a cube figuring the room in his external point of view.I wouldn’t draw only a cube, but a graphic sign that could show a certain relation with its surrounding space.

The edges of a perfect cube limit the outer space from the inner space in a sharp way.Otherwise the border between inner and outer space in a sphere is something undefined.In the middle of both this extremes there are unlimited gradients of figures that are related with space in different ways. I used this kind of relation between inner space and outer space to refer to things in my life I still don’t know and those ones I more or less know.

.figures drawing exercise. Pencil.

To obtain each final illustration I drew with a ballpoint pen each figure, then I modify the figure and coloured it using a computer.

PROJECT#3“Imposter”

.”Constrained happiness” frame.

What actually is Happiness? No idea!

Do we try to reach happiness? No idea! Are we happy? No idea!

We are Impostors of ourselves. And no one can change this naïvety but us.

PROJECT#4

“The museum inside my head”

.some of the pictures at Magazzini Ligabue, IUAV, Venice.

“The museum inside my head” that changes every day is made by people I know and I see everyday.

Sometimes happens that I relate someone with another one. That’s what this work wants to show.

.example of portrait mixing

The technique adopted to reach the final result has some steps to be created:

-Take two photos of two people.-Draw a portrait of each one.-Overlay the two portraits and make another por-trait mixing them.-Take a photo to the result.-Use the computer to modify the draw.

In this procedure there are a lot of variables. That’s why I find this works are still only ex-periments and not a complete artworks.To find the best way to mix faces, or at least to explore all the potentiality of the method it will be necessary more time and tries.
