lacuna

spazi aperti

accademia di romania, roma

lacuna is a gap, a blank space, a missing point

in latin, a pool, a cavity

lake comes from lacus

the tale of the stolen veil would have inspired the swan lake

here the veil is faceless, the image is disappearing

swans are flying somewhere, some are migrating

I’m looking for a girl

the sound of her voice

in italian, sonno is sleep 

sono means I am as well as they are.

in this project I’ve send my dreams to people from the past who used to lived in accademia di romania
( at that time french was the academic langage in use )

close from travel diary, using various media - drawing, painting, writing, video, sound… dreams, found images and papers - material used as time’s residues to dialogue with the absence.

Remains

I wander in Rome, picking up residues, drawing on papers details, fragments, remains.
