My research examines: spirituality, temporality, inheritance, listening, memory, visions, dreams, DNA. Themes all intertwined by a primordial energy, which we very often fail to recognize. Starting, from the personal experience, of my son's deafness, the urgency for a change of language and a new form of awareness has arisen.
Sound in all its forms, is a fundamental element in my projects and draws an invisible line between the past, present and future of entire generations.
I use all kinds of visual strategies as a medium for research, with the aim of not giving answers but ask the viewer to question their own reality.
In March 2023 I started, the project, ALL THE SOUNDS I REMEBER. Beginning with the key words, analyzed with Alexey Yurenev: archive and community, I opened the door of my house and realized that I shared my daily life with the Senegalese community and knew absolutely nothing about them. I wondered how is it possible to reconstruct the history of a country through its sounds and go and break down what was and still is the French domination over this country.
I wondered what temporality Senegalese families live in. What is true and what is not. What they tell you is not true and then it is. Through the use of all visual strategies: photographs, google maps, AI, letters, drawings, videos, maps, I continue to put together pieces of an unknown reality.
I studied history and politics in Bologna and did research on madness in asylums. I collaborated with the Living Theatre, then bought a truck and traveled around Europe. I love sounds and musical instruments, I am addicted to cinema, passionate about languages and Siberia.
I move first to Berlin, then to Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles and London. I studied documentary film at the University of London and worked as a manager, specializing in San Diego in education and training.
I returned to Italy, with my son Louis and we spent a year in complete poverty. During this time, I wrote two books: one became a film. Photography became part of my life when Louis is diagnosed as deaf, and from here I had the need to change language.
I studied for a year with Nausicaa Giulia Bianchi. Now I have a year mentorship with the Ph Museum in Bologna. At the same time I am enrolled at ICP in the Visual Storytelling intensive course.
