It's this passion that fuels my artistic practice, combining the newest technologies to the most authentic forms of expression.

This dystopian voyage through the independent theatre's edifice teases the imagination with covert spots imagined for nanohumans, while in the building's windows, the silent giants watch on, adding a layer of narrative to the space's mystique.

INTERACTIVE INSTALATION, 2021
short, fleeting, imperceptible, like a blank space in the middle of a poem.
they appear as if they don’t want to be seen, perceived or lived.
short moments of intense meaning, when apparently unrelated things just make sense.
u are so fucking precious when u occur.
epiphanies, episodes of serendipity, the result of our internal mental algorithms we call intuition.
-
welcome to the place of our memories, whose cinematic value will be re-enacted through the superposition of images and sound, triggered by the spectator interaction with the installation’s environment.

SOUND DESIGN & SOUND STORYTELLING:
LIGHT (2020) a telematic performance
A live experience where performers transcended the physical to become luminous entities in a virtual expanse. In response to the pandemic's limitations on physical gatherings, we crafted a digital universe for live, collective performance. Here, we transformed into energy and light, narrating our collective journey in an unforgettable fusion of technology and artistry.
DIGITAL UNIVERSE (2020 - 2022)
NINA'S TEMPORARY IMAGINARY LIFE
NTIL is a personal experiment of rewriting the past and creating alternative fiction through allegorical characters.
Starting as an imaginary escape during the quarantine time, Nina's Temporary Imaginary Life is a ludic exploration of the thin line between reality, memory, and fiction. All the characters represent real people, except for Johann the Black Cat (who represents a real black cat).
The photographs are either relevant pictures of a dissociative moments (eg. taken by me in the interior of an ambulance while having COVID on my birthday - see below) or analog photos scanned for the first time during the lockdown, 5-8 years after they were taken.
The central platform of presentation is Instagram, aiming to show random daily moments from the lives of the characters.
