A project that works on the landscape, on reappropriating spaces, and on experiencing a meadow differently, with violences to accept, be they victories or losses.
It involves and remixes the archive of Umbrian wild seeds; the ASD Narnense team, which, with its drum rolls and smoke bombs, provided the sound backdrop for my performance; the ‘camporella’ area used by the Narni inhabitants, as much loved as it was, in fact, polluted, and now cleaned up.

Reappropriation of the landscape through genetic remixing, resilient and adaptive to the habitat, through a new redrawing of boundaries. Warlike instruments aid the non-peaceful and competitive struggle of the non-human in the endeavor of remixing and not being subjugated. Adopting light transport strategies, anemochory and zoochory they become excellent traces for grafting themselves onto the site. 

They violently scream wild love.

Parade from the former agricultural weigh station to the Filetto Cemetery.

The bouquet has germinative potential.
The anemochoric dance intertwines with the zoochoric.
An evolutionary mix is a good starting point from which to generate new spaces.
A handful of collaborations cast into a place’s future is a good idea to begin with.
Cooperation between individuals, of any nature, becomes a way to generate the landscape.
It is with this goal that I want to look at space.
A double bouquet launched simultaneously that thrives in time and space, giving hope for the future to species that gaze upon each other every day for a chance.
A clear spatial embrace, defined in the act, perpetual in its resonance.

 Project in collaboration with the precious archive of evolutionary seeds of the Department of Agronomy and Botany of the Catholic University of Pia cenza(IT); the establishment of an aridiculture experimentation flowerbed allowed PhD students to emancipate themselves from the restrictive guide lines of multinationals that push research only on certain varieties, impoverishing the synergistic vision of a broader world.

Dimensioni Variabili
wood, eco-leather, steel, sugar. 

Like wasps, the invitation is to adapt. Aridity is a source of new habitable frontiers. Hymenopteran-like, we will shift levels. Entomologically inspired, we will inhabit fresh solutions. More nomadic and more humble. 

Project in collaboration with the foundations of the Bergamo Monastery and the anthill I found inside. The structure serves as a device for the ants to feed, as the black parts are covered with a sugary molasses. For us, it remains the testimony of a monument that emulates an important moment in the history of animal kingdom evolution.

To the reconquest of the habitat
reclaiming subtracted spaces
attacking sterile geometrization
in favor of spontaneously proliferating ones.

Project that, thanks to walks, saw the birth of community moments that allowed the mapping of spontaneous plants on the Island of S. Erasmo, around the Torre Massimiliana. The activation of the device then reseeded the roof-meadow, simulating an attack on the anthropized area.

SpreadMuseum Collection, Entraveaux (FR) 

Mapping of the paths, connecting Entraunes to the historic fort on top of the mountain (Citadel), of its internal passages, as it is abandoned and never architecturally surveyed, of plant development at various altitudes through the collection of seeds, berries, drupes, fruits, leaves.
SeedsMap was placed at the beginning of the path, outside the village walls. The video was donated to the municipality as mapping and survey.

Castello Visconteo di Pagazzano, Treviglio (IT)

Structure serving as training for intraspecies cooperation, for habitat repopulation, to redesign new possibilities for intertwinings. 

Project in collaboration with the Feline Area of the Visconti Castle of Pagazzano, Treviglio, for its repopulation after years of poisoning rodents and birds, which subsequently impacted their predators, the moat waters and the ecosystem within it.

Supply station for migratory individuals.
In an era when fewer and fewer individuals can afford to migrate according to their needs;
where the structures aimed at their sustenance become more slender and precarious;
establishing new points for provisioning becomes a way to support kinship and co-inhabit with other species. 

Project born to travel and yield to the habitat part of the personal seed archive remixed with seeds found on site. Conceived, designed, and realized during the pandemic, where the terrace was a condominium ashtray and the trees in the background hosted life. Thus was born the desire to establish a point of interspecies contact, between condominiums, sedentary and migratory species, when to take care of a commonspeace by redefining boundaries and concept of ownership.
