[ L’ETERNO RITORNO DELL’UGUALE ] INSTALLATION
TOKYO
2024

[ L’ETERNO RITORNO DELL’UGUALE ]  IS AN AUDIOVISUAL INSTALLATION THAT REPRODUCES THE HAPPY SOUNDS OF MY CHILDHOOD. IN PARTICULAR IT REVIVES THE CLINKING OF A GLASS WITH THE HANDLE OF A SPOON, A SOUND THAT ONCE SIGNIFIED THE CLOSING TOAST DURING LONG FAMILY MEALS. THIS SOUND, WHICH USED TO WAKE ME UP AS A CHILD, NOW HOLDS A DIFFERENT MEANING—SAME EVENT, DIFFERENT MEANING, CYCLE OF TIME. USING AN ARDUINO MOTOR, THE INSTALLATION ACCURATELY REPRODUCES THAT SOUND, MIMICKING THE LOOK OF A TABLE SET FOR THE END OF A CELEBRATION.




EXPERIMENTAL VERSIONS OF THE PROJECT EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF USING UNCONVENTIONAL OBJECTS, SUCH AS CANDY.
