Communicating the Inexpressible (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
When words are no longer sufficient, images and sounds become the place of a possible encounter.
Sound and image proceed through hints, suspensions and fragments, allowing a fragile tension to emerge, never fully resolved.
The work does not offer a message, but rather an attempt: to approach what resists language.

Forgiveness – Spiral with Leaves (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The work represents a path of transformation, in which the spiral of resentment and revenge is gradually enveloped by a vital and regenerating element.
The wounds, initially highlighted through chromatic contrasts and inversions of color, are not erased, but gradually covered and transformed.
The expansion of the leaves leads to a final image in which wounds and forgiveness coexist in a new form of balance.
On the musical level, chords that are initially harsh and dissonant give way to a gradual timbral and harmonic transformation.
The emergence of increasingly wider unisons generates an enveloping melodic sense, expressing the symbiosis reached between the memory of pain and the capacity to forgive.

The Enchanted Forest (2026)
Information about the Work
A dense weave of signs seems to transform into an imaginary landscape.
As in dreams or fantastic tales, the gaze can lose itself among branches, paths and sudden lights.

Absurd Flowers (2025)
Information about the Work

Branching Paths – Possible Directions (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The work explores the eternal tension between the known and the unknown.
Established, linear and unidirectional paths stand in contrast to irregular, uncomfortable and multidirectional trajectories. The former appear reassuring and predictable; the latter open toward new horizons, which may prove fascinating or dark and unsettling.
In this process, images and music follow parallel paths. Visual transformations find a sonic counterpart that does not describe, but accompanies the moment of choice.
Sudden changes in density and rhythm mark the passage from a single direction to a multiplicity of possibilities, sharing a space of hesitation, doubt and openness.
The work does not suggest a solution, but invites the viewer to pause at the point of bifurcation, where every direction implies a transformation.

The Gift of Prometheus (2025)
Information about the Work
The title refers to the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to give it to humanity and was punished for this act, chained and subjected to eternal torment.
In this case, fire is not only a natural element: it is the symbol of knowledge, creativity and the human capacity to transform the world.
Prometheus sacrifices himself to give knowledge to humanity. His gift therefore raises a question: to what extent are knowledge and creativity a form of liberation, and to what extent do they carry a responsibility that can be difficult to bear?

Love – Lights and Shadows (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
Love is often described as harmony.
In reality it is also made of shifts, hesitations, accelerations and slowings.
Image and music move as in a waltz: a circular movement in which two presences must find the same rhythm.
When this happens a dance is born; when the rhythm is lost, tensions and misalignments inevitably emerge.
Lights and shadows both belong to the experience of love.
Not as opposites, but as part of the same movement.

Fire in the Forest (2025)
Information about the Work
A web of lines gradually ignites until it suggests the idea of a fire moving through the forest.
Not a realistic description, but a vision that emerges from the encounter between mathematics, color and movement.

The Coronation (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The title does not refer to an external power, but to the possibility that each individual has—at least in part—to become the master of their own life.
The forms of the image seem to converge toward a central figure, as if something were gradually being recognized or assumed.
But the coronation here is not definitive.
It is rather a fragile and incomplete process: the attempt to take responsibility for one’s own choices, knowing that no one else can do it for us.

Variations on a Theme by Mark Rothko (2025)
Information about the Work
This work is dedicated to Mark Rothko, a painter who explored for a long time the expressive possibilities of apparently simple chromatic fields.
In some of his paintings the color seems to vary almost imperceptibly within the same tonal range, generating a slow and profound vibration.
The image in this work arises from a similar idea: a structure that changes through minimal variations, as if color itself were the true protagonist.
Not a realistic description, but a vision born from the encounter between mathematics, color and movement.

Aisthesis (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The title refers to the Greek term aísthēsis, which indicates sensory perception: the moment when something is grasped even before it is explained or interpreted.
In this work image and sound remain deliberately essential. They do not tell a story nor propose a defined meaning, but open a perceptual space in which forms, colors and timbres can simply be perceived.
The experience of the work arises precisely in this direct encounter, where looking and listening precede any attempt at interpretation.

Dans le brouillard de la nuit (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The title is deliberately in French: In the uncertain glow of the night.
There are moments when our path is not clearly illuminated. We move forward as if inside a fog, guided more by intuitions than by certainties.
The image arises precisely from this sensation: forms that appear and disappear, traces glimpsed for an instant before dissolving.
Perhaps it is not a matter of understanding everything, but of continuing to walk even when the road is not completely visible.
In this work image and sound remain deliberately essential. They do not tell a story nor propose a defined meaning, but open a perceptual space in which forms, colors and timbres can simply be received.
The experience of the work arises precisely in this direct encounter, where seeing and listening precede any attempt at interpretation.

The Fountain (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The work arises from the idea that a deep encounter with oneself, free from fears, obstacles and falsehoods, can generate a world of creative possibilities.
A single act of courage is enough for a rich and multifaceted inner vitality to emerge, here evoked through the image of the fountain as a continuous source.
The animation is reduced to the essential: two slight movements conceptually suggest the jets of water, avoiding any narrative effect.
The music, written for full orchestra, explores a wide and shifting timbral palette, helping to create a dense and changing sonic flow in dialogue with the image.

Illuminating Restlessness (2025)
Information about the Work
Not all restlessness is negative.
Sometimes what disturbs our usual balance becomes the beginning of a new understanding.
The image builds itself through tensions and contrasts that never reach a definitive stability.
It is precisely from this instability that unexpected zones of light emerge.
Restlessness, in this sense, is not only disorder: it can become a form of knowledge.

Forgiving Myself – A Glimpse into the Absurd (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The theme of this work concerns the confrontation with one’s own past, when behaviors and choices appear inexplicable or devoid of meaning.
Over the course of the video the work gradually takes shape through the progressive emergence of visual fragments, initially scattered and seemingly random, suggesting the slow awareness of what has been.
The final image does not arise from an immediate recomposition, but from a gradual process in which each element finds its place without erasing its own discontinuity.
On the musical level as well, the sonic images form progressively without ever reaching a definitive closure.
The final descending gesture of the piano opens the gaze toward a broader vision, suggesting an awareness that is at once surprising and revealing.

On War
War (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
War is an audiovisual work that translates the concept of conflict into an abstract and synesthetic structure.
The work explores the cyclical nature of violence, the loss of balance, and the constant tension between order and destruction.
The absence of narrative or historical references makes the conflict universal, transforming it into a perceptual and emotional experience rather than a descriptive one.
War does not represent an event: it makes it felt.
With its musically lacerating and enveloping atmospheres, the work does not intend to commemorate a tragic event while keeping the listener in an external and detached position.
On the contrary, the music emotionally involves the listener, projecting them into the very process in which the tragedy unfolds.
Listening does not observe: it participates, sharing a tension that develops over time without offering consolation or distance.

Colored Variations on a Theme from Guernica (2025)
Information about the Work
This work originates from a detail of Guernica by Pablo Picasso.
In the famous painting, color is almost completely absent: white, black and gray make the image even more dramatic and stripped down.
In these variations color returns, but not to soften the scene.
On the contrary, it becomes an additional element of tension, capable of transforming the violence of the image into an unstable and restless visual field.
This is not an attempt to reinterpret Picasso’s work, but to pass through its emotional echo using different visual tools.

Voracity – When the Sword Fell Silent (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The work takes its starting point from fragments of *Canto General* by Pablo Neruda, dedicated to the conquest and exploitation of his land.
Violence and commerce are placed in relation, showing how, once the time of weapons ends, the time of division begins.
The image makes this dynamic visible through a form of predation, in which a larger structure tends to engulf a smaller one.
Music and images proceed in parallel, sharing a sense of inevitability.
In the finale, the emergence of a clear and crystalline timbre introduces a sonic rarefaction that alludes to a stylization of economic value, leaving open the ambiguity between the end of calculation and inner emptiness.
Fragments from the text by Pablo Neruda:
Quando la spada ebbe tregua arrivò il mercante con la sua borsa
La terra andava da un signore all’altro, finchè tutta l’azzurra geografia fu spartita
E il mondo fu diviso fra Coca-Cola Inc, Anaconda, Ford Motors e altre società
La United Fruit Company si riservò la parte più succosa
Translation:
When the sword fell silent the merchant arrived with his bag
The land passed from one master to another until the entire blue geography was divided
And the world was divided among Coca-cola Inc., Anaconda, Ford Motors and other companies
The United Fruit Company reserved for itself the juiciest part

Freedom – Unbekannt (2025)
Video
Information about the Work
The work is inspired by events that took place in Berlin between 1960 and 1989, during the years of the city’s division.
In an area of West Berlin, several crosses bore the inscription *Unbekannt* (“Unknown”) and only the date of death, without any reference to name or birth.
The crosses commemorated people killed while attempting to cross the Wall from East Berlin. In several cases the identity of the victims was never established. Similar scenes occurred over the years in other parts of the city.
The work deliberately renounces music, replacing it with sounds and noises in order to avoid any form of emotional commentary or aestheticization.
As in Picasso’s Guernica, subtraction becomes an expressive choice: what remains is the testimony of a denied reality and of a memory that has remained without a name.
To the desperate unknown heroes
killed during their mad run
their hearts already beyond
the silent Wall
