<p><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>In my videos and in my photographs
I neither violate truth, but reinterpret it through a digital elaboration,
through successive minimal remakes until direction and sense of things
are changed. Trought this espressive mode, this immediate elaboration,
re-create the changed point of view, the mutated values system, the altered
balances of our actual society.</font></font>
<br><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>Metropolitan landscapes and symbols
of our times are often tipped-over and specular from the center: scenery,
as well as urban cultural elements, part of our everyday life, recall and
become something different, unreal and fluctuant architectural conglomerates
or identities on a dynamism of their aspect. Frames remove them from their
background, bring them in a suspended dimension and amplify them; in the
center new images are born - similar to Rorschach stains or kaleidoscope's
moving images - from the fusion of reflected parts. I reproduce a subject
which seems to repeat itself but which, as a matter of fact, is always
different, in a continuous evolution of its own meaning.</font></font>
<br><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>An important factor in my research
is always to travel. I my works unexpected landscapes and suggestions are
protagonists, met during the travel and not forcing the truth. Through
digital elaboration I give life to these visions, that influence me through
their images and their intrinsic evocations: what I recreate is a new imaginative
view where the external space is melted with inner perception.</font></font>
<br><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>In my videos, the shots are almost
always fixed, but imperceptible movements of the observed or of the observer
trigger changes in a stilled setting. Time is altered, often slowed down
to show things generally unseen, but at a constant speed and without sudden
changes, so that it seems set to its natural passing. Sound is original,
too, but is difficult to follow because is modified, accelerated or slowed
down. The alteration of temporal dimension is amplified by loop, wich multiplies
endlessly the immediacy of the duration. By this way the modification of
time coincides with the alienating attitude of the spatial dimension.</font></font>
<br><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>Photographs are digitally elaborated
and produced as lambda-prints mounted under plexiglass, on aluminium sheet
or duratrans; they are sometimes video frames. Videos are produced on DVD
support and I am the author of the entire process.</font></font>
<br><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>In my work, it's important to be
site specific, in close contact with the surrounding area. That is why
both photography and video establish a relationship of cross-contamination
which develops in the expositive space, as in the project I'm a master
made for my solo show at MART - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in
Trento in 2000. I'm also very interested in Public Art, which gives the
actual possibility to open a dialogue with the structure of the city: among
my various similar interventions there is the great projection of a red
fish suspended over a city bridge in Bolzano in Goldfish on the Bridge.</font></font>
