Phosphenesis

2024

A collection of video testimonies narrating a metaphysical journey beyond the existential boundary. In this void, matter combines and organizes to give life to manifestations trapped in an eternal present, consumed only by distance and fog. A deep stream of thought branches out in unexpected directions, creating a place both desolate and reassuring. Each manifestation can only be observed and understood.

The collection consists of 8 pieces, each exploring an aspect or dynamic related to the construction of one’s awareness in a relativistic reading.

Dissipation

The matter this creature is composed of is fragmented, divided into small parts, each different from the others. It is capable of sliding around information, leaving it unaltered; in the worst cases, at most only a small fragment can be affected and transformed, not the entire system.

Winter ~ Richard III

Gammatrace x Laurence Fuller (Directed by Vincent D’Onofrio)
“My work with Gamma has been a contemplation on the craft of acting in Contemporary Digital Art, and new depths that working in this way helped me to discover about this classic. The substance of performance is changing, the mediums of the human soul, though some things are always constant. Gamma and I find ourselves at this forefront rediscovering Shakespeare’s classic in an entirely new way. Traditions are uprooted by technology and yet resurrected.
Where one face exists, another is shown ~ Richard III gave us a glimpse at the madness that power can bring, to even undo his own family and peers at the expense of climbing the next rudder on the ladder. To take his credit at the throne on the backs of the fallen. And we with each succeeding generation find ourselves standing on those same backs, yet returning to them once again to claim their robes ~ either in triumph or in humility.”

Intro/outro

“In this place, there is a particular perspective… From here, a reality emerges that breaks into fragments and recomposes in unexpected ways. It is as if, in this place, one can understand the truest version of things…
Here, there is a figure torn apart and dismembered, this figure is this place!
Without order in things, where emotions overlap and arrive even before the causes themselves. From these lacerations… these open wounds… sometimes evanescent, even frightening, but also very familiar visions manifest.
From the darkness, like phosphenes, distant dots begin to appear…
At first, they are indistinct, almost imperceptible, but as one approaches, these manifestations become more comprehensible.
Made of matter in constant agitation… As one continues to get closer, the details enlarge, more and more without limit, like an infinite fall towards increasingly hidden particulars…
…I said familiar because I could discern parts of myself in these manifestations, but also parts of many others…
This is a solitary place, a place where minds meet only in the reflections and echoes of their thinking.
Yes! Probably there are others, but they will never meet. Even if they do not see each other, they know each other. Because here, in this void, influences have no logic, revealing in fact only one reality, and it is the same for everyone;
And beyond? How much reality wasted to conceal its own edge, why not leave it in view?
Only by effect of contrast does exploring also mean losing familiarity with the concept of relative. I will not stay long, but I will return often, because I feel that this is the right place to imagine something new…
Those who bear witness to it know, knowing this space will inevitably bring with it contamination, on their body, in their mind, and even on objects, like a signature.”
