"IL MIO MEDITERRANEO"

Installation, 2025.


"My Mediterranean" is a collection of single shoes recovered along the shores of the Adriatic Sea, north of the province of Brindisi.

The work arises from the artist’s need to give shape to the feeling of unease experienced whenever their body is immersed, for pure enjoymen, in the same waters that, for some, represent an impenetrable geographical boundary.

"GUILT"

Performance, 2025.

Wuppertal.


In "Guilt", the artist pedal for fifty minutes next to an empty bicycle, without a rider.

The work stems from the urgent need to give shape to a moral sense of guilt that overwhelmed him after a tragic event in his hometown: the death of a young Black migrant, struck by a vehicle while cycling to "work" along a rural road.

"MEMORIALE"- The Olive Tree in the age of Technology

Multidisciplinary project, 2024.

The exhibition consisted of four sections: .Installation: olive tree; .Audio recordings of root disposal; .Graphics of the anthropogenic components behind the bacterium; .“Xylella is just a symptom of a much larger problem”, short footage;

"THE LAST SUPPER"

Interactive installation, 2023.

CNR-ISMAR, Palazzina Canonica, Venice.



This work represents the culmination of interdisciplinary research, merging art and science through collaboration with Dr. Fabio Trincardi, director of the CNR Science Department.

In the installation, viewers engage directly by holding open the refrigerator door and seeing themselves live on a monitor. Two internal cameras create a visual loop that confronts participants with their own actions.
Inside the refrigerator, audiences encounter real fish from the Venice lagoon, preserved as if they were consumer products, disregarding their sentient nature. Venice frequently experiences mass fish deaths, with mullets surfacing and dying due to oxygen depletion.

"#NONAMECODE"

Interactive performance, 2021.

Bastioni S. Giacomo, Brindisi.



The performance featured two professional actors moving among the audience within the surrounding space. Their movements were robotic, as if unable to fully perceive reality. They did not interact with the audience, and their identities were completely obscured by balaclavas.

Devoid of any physical cues such as clothing or body language, the only way to engage with them was by scanning a QR code tattooed on the nape of each actor’s neck. This directed viewers to their Instagram profiles, where a prior post had explained their deliberate non-physical presence.
