DESCRIPTION: This work is the result of a nomadic journey into the Italian landscape.
Having left home (North Italy) with the aim of finding a cave on the Apulian coast where he could spend the night and explore the relationship between dwelling and communication, f' poses transitory inhabitance as a semiotic question: the architectural space (signifier) is the container of the human body (signified). The morphology of the cave is therefore seen as the space that created the ‘logos’ and the act of penetrating the cave is a return to the creation of language.
It is also a symbolic act of returning on the one hand, to the first human settlements of the region and on the other, of inhabiting radical contemporary units of refuge. f' temporary loculus, recreated and transposed into the gallery space, also represents the liminal face of the European political body; resiliency in extreme conditions became a localised act of resistance.
The installation is completed by a sound component: a binaural recording of the cave's sound environment made during the performance is played in a loop. The sound source is concealed within the exhibition space and installed in such a way that it resonates, exploiting the stationary acoustic node of the low-frequency waves.
