PERPETUO is a site-specific installation created for the single-aisle Renaissance space of the Church of Santa Maria della Visitazione in Venice. It is a work that stands as a threshold between the real, the spiritual, and the virtual worlds, between which the Western civilization is gradually groping its way, often failing to distinguish their boundaries. In this sense, the never-ending loop of the figurative composition is a materialization of contemporary social architecture.
PERPETUO is a sculptural paraphrase of the endless proliferation of visual posts that dominate our reality; from automated scrolling on social networks and tailormade advertisements to the most private areas of everyone’s life. PERPETUO thus creates a unique space to stop and reflect on what we still perceive as real on the “net” and what is no longer real.
