SALA GIOCCHI is a virtual space, a mini casino in which human and inhu-man relations are brought into play. SALA GIOCCHI is the place of excess where one can reach the no substance related addiction. SALA GIOCCHI is a constant questio-ning about the fragility of human rela-tionships in the contemporary world, the pathological relationship with the machine becomes a pretext to stage, through performances, an age of su-perstition, guilt, loss and paranoia.Come and visit us, we expect many!

BATON SINISTER or How Subculture Could Forge Transversal Heroes

BATON SINISTER or How Subcultures Could Forge Transversal He-roes is an installation conceived for the collective exhibition Baton Sinister, Norway Pavilion in the 54ˆEsposizione Internazionle d’Arte di Venezia.Researches where inspired and supported by Bjarne Melgaard, norwe-gian artist based in New York. The starting point was a study of queer theory with a sensible attention to queercore subculture, that working with the Do It Yourself ethic and fighting against the tradition matches with the punk culture. My focus here is on the Barebacking subculture, the practice of having unprotected sex with the risk or the will of spreading the HIV virus. The study of heraldry becomes useful to build up an iconography made concrete throw the realization of two shields which represent the concepts of COOL and UNCOOL and a ban-ner, the QUEERCORE. Two posters, BAREBACKERS GENEALOGIC TREE and MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES, commemorate heroes which, according to the mainstream culture may not even be consid-ered as such, while an installation within a bathroom, TOILET, becomes a shrine in their honor.

L’INFLUENTEartist’s book

L’INFLUENTE is an artist’s book, born as an incubator for influences, which obsessively collects groups of thought from others pre-serving and breeding them.

“La Sindrome di Cassandra is the talent of imaginingnew worlds, foreseeing unthinkable scenarios andthe destiny to not be believed.Just tell people only what they want to hear, tell them stories they want to believe to. It’s important to have someone who talks about evident realities. Everything else is pure madness, they will never believe you”.

#2

La Sindrome di Cassandra is an ongoing project settled by many parts destined to evolve in order to create an im-aginary panorama representing an unreal event. The news-story images collected represent an apocalyptic sight on future, they are ready to become commodities to be sold on market:

#1 video, editing with the use of found footage from youtube that shows the catastrophe.

#2 photomontage, reproducible in postcard 11x15,5 or poster 50x70 created to be sold as souvenir of the future Venice. These finds will be useful to enhance the prophesy of an apocalyptic scenario, the death of Venice that just like Atlantis, is destined to sink in the abyss.
