RESIDENTE #2

The work stems from the search for a dialogue with the surrounding place: interior (trullo) and exterior (the countryside of Francavilla Fontana). Just as the sculptor transfers himself into the sculpture, here the environments related to this area conceal life that manifests itself overbearingly according to natural rhythms. It is the dialogue between inside and outside, between the place and those who reside there. Here the artist personally interprets the sculpture, thus holding his breath, remaining motionless and impassive. The work and the artist become one. The image simultaneously renders the idea of a terracotta sculpture and an animated body. The video allows one to observe all the details of the seemingly motionless image, which gradually reveals small environmental and physical movements.
