1 secondo di te is presented as a reworking and re-proposition of the concept of the 25 frames making one second of a video but in a three-dimensional state. Here, the installation stands as physical artifact, and is created with a different purpose. If in photographic portraits the subject, his gaze and a piece of his own being remain timelessly imprinted, here the viewer stands before self. But in the fleeting instant in which he looks at himself, he realizes that he is not the observer. It is the twenty-five reflected images that look back at you. And in a moment they disappear, and mutate, in an unstoppable becoming that will never be the same as before. Moreover, because of their parabolic-like arrangement, if the viewer attempts a verbal dialogue with the work, it responds, muffling the surrounding acoustics and redirecting the sound toward him, speaking to him in the same way and in twenty-five mutated tones.
The work portrays the viewer’s incessant flux of change, the opposite of its photographic counterpart from which it takes the same basic concept.
