Projects
Journey to the interior of the lived cities, is the second part of a project related to the book by Italo Calvino, " The Invisible cities". This is an ongoing project that to date has resulted in 3 periods of residence in different cities and a set of pieces about each one of them. In this second phase of the project, I place myself in the position of the character Marco Polo, the one who creates from his travels and everything he records from them. This project has a first part, called Journey to the interior of the imagined cities.
Kronstadt, St. Petersburg, Russia
In the context of this project, I made in 2013 an artist residency in Kronstadt in Kotlin island. One of my research focuses was an abandoned 19th century Fort. Based on research done at the site, I made a video about the history of this Fort and a series of installations and drawings.
