Happy to be one of the finalists in the latest Artavita contest, with my work "sources". When I made the photo- and video-installation "Sources", I themed our depending in gas and energy, and how far it can be end - long before the war in Ukraine started. Many artiists feel the sense and spirit in the world long before it comes aware in gerneral society. My congratulations to the winner Cristina Jobs, with her four sculptures. ! which had as the prize free participation for up to four works in the Spectrum - Red Dot Miami art fair. There were 574 participating artists with 1623 works. I am happy to be one of the finalists. Many thanks to artavita!

An original piece from the series “Code”, oil and graphite on paper, 40 x 40 cm, 2020. A map is an imprint, a sign of man in the landscape. An alien intelligence, observing our cities from the great distances of space, could interpret them as the characters of an alphabet, sort of messages, a code of signs, each one different from the other, each with its own meaning and its own syntax. This hypothetical alien presence may not even realize that these cities have a purpose and a function, which are the product of the way we have adapted to live on this planet, but it could engage in an attempt to interpret this unknown language, identifying the alphabet and associating to each character a precise meaning. Will we still be able to understand and share these new meanings, or will they have lost any sense for us?
