My work enquire in the relation between the body and the environment. The body is put in relation to the dimensions of space, time and sound in which it lives. Starting with concepts like repetition and habit, the research shifts on how they act within daily life, influencing the psyche and the way to inhabit the spacial environment. The daily physical relation is constantly confronted with the emotional one, tied to the perception of our body. This generates a definition of the space constructed with a formal relation constantly shifting between equilibrium and obsession. I’m interested in analysing how time is perceived and study the body as a place of temporal memory, acting as a link between past and future.The project of my work goes hand in hand with a theoretical reflection on sound as the fundamental element for the perception of the external world.
I use drawing, sculpture, installation and video.
