I was born in Roma on 30/04/1973. At the moment I’m living and working between Milano and Roma. The limit between abstraction and the search for image composition is indefinite and borderline in my work. The same theme explores different formal solutions. Missiles, (“time bomb the loveâ€) through vertical-horizontal movements, transform themselves in synthetic and basic architectures, “compressions-containersâ€. Or else, camera lenses : (calling a conversation in universe) by executing a “virtual courtshipâ€, look like gymnasiums floating in space. My work’s proposition is to transmute and give feelings to objects. Through animation, every single frame seems isolated and “blocked†in the context of a transforming visible information flow. My work continues also in an interactive project for the web (“pipeline projectâ€) where I came up with a kind of “super placeâ€, the inside of a cylindrical four story house made up of a living room with a circular couch, a bare bedroom, a study room with a projector and a equilibrium room, inside of which there is an egg, inside this egg there is a house prototype which is always balanced. With the computer I have always created the project of an installation: “Pagodas-Meringue proj.â€, where pagodas become meringues and melt into low pools of coloured water which can be navigated by the spectator: (“My sweet, sweet homeâ€). The challenge is certainly in the use of new technologies that give us the opportunity to design immediately and “freeze†fragments belonging to the speed of contemporary communication.
