Sometimes, the best images is the nothingness. The nothingness takes shape with a path, it annihilates every thing that surrounds it, it actively takes part to the deconstruction, leaving behind a perceivable trace to the imagination. There is no violence in the gesture, but a meticulous and conscious choice. A place where you leave and where you comes, a canvas where you add to destroy.
The path develops between the telling of a story and the project for a possible scenario (homicide) which subtends a fascinating thesis. The strenght of this project lays in the (successful) attempt to upset the order, strenghtened by time, of the materials inside the Colonia and the aesthetic synthesis is a goal for the questions that it poses. Can an object be cultivated? To create a shape an intellectual subconscious process of a synthetic tybe, which only belongs to the sphere of art, is instead necessary. Substantially, a short circuit between materials and relations with the surrounding nature.
