This project was born from an error, a mistake in the interpretation of the etymology of the word “Museum”. While drawing for an exhibition in Rome, I observed Rome as a great museum. I was misled by the term starting from the assumption that the origin of this word came from Moses, only to discover the correct Greek derivation and its meaning.This error was the intuition that led me to my research process in a series of original interpretative ideas that have connected territories, religions and symbols opening up a narrative made up of seven levels, each crossed by a light: that of knowledge. Muse_um is a project that combines the fixity of photography with the movement of video and it opens itself up to research into the origin of written language and image, passing between the secular and religious culture of the East and West. The images that make up the work Muse_um were made from countless photographic shots, assembled in sequence by the artist and reproduced in motion.The set was prepared in the darkness of the same fixed space, in which a single ray of light was brought together. The fusion of the images creates a seamless visual linearity, in which the narrative is composed through the presence of three structural elements: the wall, a surface and the objects.Three colours used by the artist, mainly yellow, black and white, are the metaphorical expression of the three elements at the basis of the alchemical sciences, namely mercury, sulfur, salt.
