voles virus volé

First in the series of “stolen images”. The “stolen images” series questions representation in contemporary society, considering the overproduction of new images a sort of pollution of the gaze, where reality is blocked in a constant present with no escape. The method is simple: recycling other people’s work or content found either in exhibitions/theater shows, or online, downloading digital material, and creating collages that become loops. Working with Alberto Canova we develop sounds from samples of someone else’s music/field recordings, to loop them in chains of feedback.
