STILLS
Stills / In situ installations / 2006-2007
Interventions in public spaces, altering their identity and sometimes their improvement. Unexpected images in the frame of daily life with expansive and metonymic dimension
Fragments of the private, incorporated in harmony to the public space, they create a “moving- static,” a frozen snapshot of an action endearing to the latent object’s chase which does not allow a passive attitude, but it subjects you to a condition of search, the discovery of another beyond this.
Ultimately, it is about the intention of creating what Roland Barthes calls the incident. Attempts to make a work of art “happen” for the viewer, who reads it with his mind and senses. It is an experience, a call to engage in a “public-private” world.
Thumbnailed “magical” enigmatic images, surprise and activate thinking. A spatial montage, an unexpected interlocking of images that is released by the obvious, the commonplace, the continuous. A “surrealist” script that creates apocalyptic correlations. The actual areas of the city are in dialectic with the imaginary areas of thought.
