CAVES OF THE MOON
My research began as an investigation into perceived reality and the artistic gesture that manages to cross its boundaries, pushing thought towards 'other' territories. An investigation that moves through words, moving images, photography and 3D modeling; where reality and fiction follow one another. The attempt is to give rise to new inhabitable artificial landscapes where the images become almost solid presences in space, yearning for physical interaction.
Caves of the moon is a stratified work in which primordial bas-reliefs, photographs and a video animation coexist, a metaphor for a telescope through which to peek at the dawn of a near future, illuminated by an oblique and grazing light that reveals an uncomfortable truth, which heralds the imminent extinction of man in favor of a reborn vegetal hegemony.
The work arises from the explorations of an actually existing place, the sandstone quarries of the Parco della Valle del Lanza between Varese and Como (Italy).

Her artistic reasearch moves through words, photography, 3D modeling and printing; where reality and fiction follow one another.
