Note

"Lapse" is a word that contains various meanings; it represents an interval, a passage of time, or a brief or temporary loss of concentration, memory or judgement. L. is an audio-visual installation conceived as a contemplative space , an alternative moment to time. The acceleration and subsequent atomization of human experience leads to the inevitable loss of the duration of things, that quality of time due only to stillness, those contemplative dimensions that move the mind and generate rituality. The visual execution of the work is entrusted to point clouds (Point Cloud generated on the basis of studies on the morphology and behavior of Plankton) in a projected  virtual 3D environment, the particles react to sound signals.

Recalling a marine aesthetic and a wave movement, they live as if on the surface of the water, like superficial organisms, without actively directing their own movement, being passively transported by currents and wave motions. The digital sediment derives from the movement and variations of the pixels that generate the sound score, a succession of sounds that look at panoramas of electroacoustic music, sounds stratifications and electroacoustic gestures that lead back and remind us to sound behaviors typical of animals that communicate by echolocation. The movement becomes the foundation of everything, it leaves a sign that is narration, which leaves no gaps.
