Tra le Righe, (nasce)

Tra le Righe, (nasce) is a site-specific video installation comprising four screens arranged in sequence, side by side, positioned at the centre of two brackets. The video presents three different contexts, linked by black rubber boots – a material the artist has been working with for several years. In the darkness, everything seems to float. Through a play of reflections, the boots emerge on the screen or are worn by swimming figures, alternating with close-ups of a rubber surface that seems to harbour or generate a new form of life. The work stems from the experience of the swimming pool, traditionally marked by lanes – lines that evoke both writing and legibility as well as the movement and direction of the bodies passing through them. The artist constructs an intermediate space in which the images evoke origin, care, growth and that which is not yet present, creating a tension between what takes shape between the lines – the imagined and the possible – and the physical body.
