Obscured Ancestors
Traces of the Past: Material Memory in Archaeology by Matthias Hoernes Traces are all that endure. In archaeology, the past seems to reveal itself through fragments: a pottery sherd, a metal nail, charred seeds, animal bones, or a discolored patch of soil. These materials and materialities are not testimonies but traces forming contemporary, untimely material […]

Intermezzo Part ll
INTERMEZZO is a brief, intense moment – an unexpected interlude that breaks familiar patterns and creates space for new impressions. In the world of chess, an intermezzo refers, for example, to a surprising move that demands an immediate response, though not necessarily an impulsive one. In music, an intermezzo is a short, independent instrumental piece […]
F Scale South
Ultimately, this is a love letter to a place, and I’m tracing its edge. These edges are spherical. Each model of a sphere contains the possibility of a universe.

It reflects on how symbiosis has shaped our past and continues to inform our habits, behaviors, and the ways […]
Radical Optimistic

This aesthetic, subconsciously reacting to the overload of digital imagery and built upon DIY approaches to traditional crafts and materials, has naturally divided—at […]

Accade come quando c’è una luce più scura
EN Here, between the structure and the garden, I keep looking until my gaze wanes. Gestures, body, eyes and mouth preannounce a state of anxiety. An indoor where all the lights are on. A close space where there’s silence. It’s illusory to ask to apply this regime in a less absolute or less brutal way. […]
