Time...memory...identity...dream... perception...nature...fragment...Time...
are keywords in my work.
Whatever I write or I create, I'm talking about that.
Those "topics" are my limit, my material, my border.
Together with them, thank to them, I cross the border of conventional grammatical and syntactical code, and I try to explore the territories of
silence ... conceiving it as a space of relation between meaning and its sound.
Pushing my language on its extreme limit, I try to stay on its complexity brooked by breath, stuttering ...
in order to make possible to explore the intimate complexity ... thanks to its inner collapse ... in each pause ... in every other possibility of
construction...
Ten years ago I got a gift: to be witness of another life.
My daughter loves shelters... she builds-up shelters inside home and inside each of them she builds-up another home, related with the "real" one.
Out of this passion, I understood that whatever creative action, is a "place".
There are places that you can found only through a big transformation on yourself,
this transformation crosses your body and your language, both of them borders, limits, instruments, interfaces.
Then, the fundable place becomes a feeling's space.
I call "poetry" this place, I call "stage" its space.
I feel "poetry" is a place, I feel "stage" is a space able to hold the place of poetry.
Space into space.
In its natural relation, I call poetry the interference and the reciprocal growing-up of meaning and sound.
In its artificial relation, I call stage each interference between media and media.
I hold many passions: poetry, sound, image, architecture, and I love to meet them on a common ground made of their specificity and of their
reciprocal contamination.
My work is a wind that hugs artistic and technical knowledge.
It crosses the space of poetry, sound, visual and scenic art, web, where several subjects and several wishes of art and upon art meet each other.
That's why I call "stage" the different but equal possibility to extend "a creative act" in whenever place, concert room ...
theatre...radio...web...book...public space.
In poetry, the caesura is ineludible; in the moment of its pronunciation, the word ask for a rhythmical suspension... for pause... silence.
Then the breath runs elsewhere out of a specific sense... A murmur...
It is necessary to dead clearly once,
to have the chance to see the second beauty hidden is us.
I call "poetry" this chance... the open bracket...the athletic gesture of the apostrophe ...: ] [ :....
the sensual hug of a wind
