Another Stupid Reason

The sound performance evokes the drama of a shooting through a complex tapestry of sounds, including guns, rifles, machine guns, and bombs. The various tracks overlap, creating a dynamic sound dialogue in which different voices interact and sometimes suffocate each other. The result is a controlled chaos that follows a precise rhythm inspired by Morse code. Each gunshot articulates the phrase “I love you” in different languages: the Glock in Italian, the rifle in German, the machine gun in Russian. The association of the phrase “I love you” with violence invites a deep reflection on the complexities of human relationships, the tenuous boundary between affection and possessiveness, and the dynamics of power and influence in personal interactions. From a practical point of view, because the sound intentionally mixes the sounds of real firearms with those of videogames and films, the performance purposely brings people to swing between reality and fiction. The tune create a dreadful and attracting symphony at the same time; it also arises some questions: what is love? Can bad actions be justified on behalf of love? On one hand, a violent love is not love, on the other hand, any kind of relationship has to be protected with all our strength. The sound installation does not give answers, it oscillates between various opposite meanings and leaves people free to give their own interpretation.
