ENTER MY VOICE...



This is a vinyl cover I designed for a sound piece I created for one of my projects. The piece looks at the presence of the voice within the chamber of the body as a vessel of expression, in which we project our invisible selves into the external world...

MY WORKSHOP~ Marcello's Class











These stills were taken as part of a workshop I held for my class here at NABA. The workshop presented a series of investigations that looked at our presence socially within space. As an exchange student here, for me it was very important to create this true exchange, where we as a class came together as a collective body. The series of works included: Exploring Yourself in Space, Mirroring Each Other, Human Balance, Social Sculpture and Awakening Together...

Into the Forest...(Sculptural Experiment)

.



'Into the Forest' is an installation that originally came from another project idea, but once I projected into the exhibition space it became a very different piece. I see this project as still a very much work in progress, where I would like to be able to re-install it in a much larger space, and explore the ways of involving the public...
This for me was more a realisation of how sometimes when you put an idea into a different context, it can completely change the message behind the work. This piece very much makes me think of my work a few years ago, also using imagery from nature and projecting onto the human body. This is a different exploration, in which I create a walkway into the projection, a space for the public to explore their own presence within the space...

Coriandoli~ INSTALLATION...



These are stills that I took of my mini installation at NABA last week...The space was used to project a video I had shot on the streets of Milan looking at the presence of Coriandoli in public space. I also scattered coriandoli on the floor of the gallery space, as a way of connecting external and internal spaces...

TOGLIERE~ Picking the pieces...

These are a collection of stills of a video piece I made in relation to a performance called 'TOGLIERE'... In this video you witness the scene that is left after a performance where I remove the pages of a book. This piece is about looking at the space once something has been activated within it, the aftermath of an action, and revealing that what happens after a performance is as much as part of the art work as the performance itself...

'SOUL PORTRAITS'

This is a project I created for my photography class. 'Soul Portraits' are a series of introspective photographs that look at the internal presence of humanity in space. The images are overlapped with automatic writing...
