Liturgia della Parola

Video, Symbol / Letter, Sound only, 27:28
The work starts from the reflection of a phrase uttered by Maximus the Confessor, one of the greatest theologians of early Christianity in the seventh century: "If you do not know the words, as you know the Word?". As in the Liturgy, list all the words of the Dictionary of Italian Language. A test of resistance that gives rise to a composition of sounds that assumes the grandeur of a secular prayer. An expanding spiral that leads me to measure myself with a path similar to what any human being does in the first years of life when learning to read and write, uses rote learning of each letter of the alphabet. The language is not only the means through which the individual relates to the world, but it is also the symbol of the collective identity of a people. Each record has a fixed duration of one hour beyond the number of words that correspond to the letter. The twenty-four letters make up so ideally the span of a day of vita.Tutti terms have the same value, without the hierarchy imposed by the presumption of meaning.
