L'atto di coscienza della materia
'L'atto di coscienza della materia' is a project based on the staging of a hypothetical experience at the threshold of death.
This experience is depicted within a limbo, presented as a confined room, in which it's captured the instant that defines the passage from matter to non-matter; and it is at this moment that the body takes consciousness of its death.
For every image is used a different geometric shape, called regular convex polyhedra. These regular solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron) are associated with the five fundamental elements (fire, earth, air, water and ether) of Platonic philosophy.
The philosophical bond between the shapes and the elements contributes to the visual effect of the work. The colors and the atmospheres of each image are strictly bonded with the element presented in it.
Every object present in the images is real and not added trough post production. The opera is the result of complex staging and light design.
Every image shows a different model even though covered with a white cloth.
