Hot screen

Focusing on the relationship between the real and virtual worlds, it's interesting if we can now define something like a "global digital migration"? Of course, in recent times, the shift of consciousness and attention to cyberspace has only intensified, as has the process of artificially augmented reality. The obligation to be online, the attachment to devices, and the consequent loss of relationship with the natural and organic world are also increasing. Can we call this a deepening crisis of reality, will it worsen the ecological situation? By combining and interweaving concrete architecture, natural and digital worlds, questions are raised about the interaction and relationship between them. Central to the work is the image of a screen whose presence we have forgotten: a screen-image, a window into another space and time, a mirror that covers and hijacks reality. Questioning what we see provokes a critique of ocularcentrism. The sum of zoomorphic drawings, mythological in nature, inspired by the natural cabinet, builds an illusionary image, which turns into a semi-abstract matter, creating a game in which we easily get lost, where one reality is more real than another. The multi-layered paintings, the interweaving of real images and their copies that create myths and illusions, remind us of the hyperreality we fall into. Space without people, architecture overgrown with paintings, colorful windows advertising another reality make us think about the relationship between reality and imagination.
