Collection of Ruins

My photographs of ruins were my first inspirations for this project, first of all the one of my home.

At this point I started the process of subjectivisations of something, in my case of a ruin, that means at the same time the remains of something and an empty place for personal projections. I think that everything starts in this moment: the mind automatically proceeds completing the missing parts, even with fantasy when there is no other element. So in an absurd way these bricks of something that is there partially, become bricks for potential employment by our imaginations.

The final result of my installation is a divisor, which is yet permeable and gives a new and poetic view at the same time of landscape outside and interior. It plays with the space, creating projections of shadows that move with the sunset all around the room.

It includes a surprise element: seen from a precise, marked on the floor for the feet and on the wall for the eyes, the composition fits exactly with the skyline behind the windows; so that an experience of a discrete discovering can take place.

This work is thought as an art installation, that works as a divisor/non-divisor because of its transparency and thin consistence, rather stimulating communication than inhibiting it. It is static, but contains tension. Through the movement of the shadow it interacts with the surrounding space.
