Loss of Face was composed during a 4 weeks online workshop on composition led by Sara Serpa. During the workshop Sara Serpa asked the participants to produce a vocal piece inspired by a daily event that created a strong feeling in us. I wrote a piece about wearing masks and how a simple gesture like this has divided entire societies. I decided to collect the thoughts and feelings of my immediate family members, many of which are doctors and nurses, and their experiences of this pandemic. This is a very touching piece of work for me. I felt gratitude, fear and anger. You’ll hear from Antonio, Chiara, Martina, Irene, Leonardo, Carla and my Mamma.
Transitions is a DIY video and audio solo travel through the spring and summer 2020. The videos were released separately on Instagram.
This journey is divided in three chapters:
1. Re-entry - released on 4/9/2020
2. Turning - released on 11/9/2020
3. Connections - released on 18/9/2020
During these crazy times I felt the need to give a name to my emotions. I have always been fascinated and drawn to painters and the way they are captivated by specific moments in time, expressions and feelings. For this mini series I was inspired by the pain in The Scream by Edvard Munch, the deep brotherhood in the letters between Van Gogh and his brother Theo, the colours in Music, Pink and Blue No. 2 by Georgia O'Keeffe, the memories of my childhood in Water Lilies by Claude Monet and the writings about colour and resonance by Wassily Kandinsky. Music is a great inspiration to me too. Below you can find all the artists that accompanied my journey.
