The manipulated photograph, printed on copper, shows an image of a glacier. By bringing together human fingerprints, new technologies, and traditional materials in a single image, this photograph sparks a conversation about the transformation of the material through the viewer's response. The focus is on the material's transformation and the response it evokes.

“ La ricchezza di dettagli nell’espressione pittorica e i disegni sottili. I corpi sensuali dietro il materiale filmico.
La scelta della piega e la vista di centinaia. ” *



When analyzing Baroque sculptures and paintings, it's as if you can almost touch them with your eyes. There's a sense of movement and a desire to look beneath the surface to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. These works of art are so lifelike and realistic that they almost seem to come to life before your eyes. The scenes depicted are so vivid and detailed that you feel as if you're right there in the moment. Overall, viewing Baroque sculptures and paintings is a truly immersive and sensory experience.









*The wealth of details in the painterly expression and the subtle drawings. The sensual bodies behind the film material. The choice of the fold and the view of hundreds.

Interpretation of a fossil, 2019

The replica of Ötzi’s shoe is made from an ancient and partly still common knotting technique that dates back to prehistoric times. On a short excursion to the Ötzi Museum, each student should choose an object and interpret it. By imitating the original, an awareness of the object and of the prehistoric time.

I made the shoes to fit my feet perfectly, an exciting process in which I explored the replica of the fossil and the material. I looked for plastic remains from the house for further interpretation and elaborated them. In the end, the two shoes stand side by side in: techniques, materials, colours and forms.
