Geometries of Failure
2020 - ongoing

To avoid failure is common sense. Failure can't exist by its own; it's a mutation of something that already existed. The failure moment isn't the negation of a previous state, but the marking of its transformation into something else. My attention was drawn by new scenes generated by a state of transitional failure. Situations in which the original forms are alterated in unique way by decay or indifference, gaining very specific characteristics which contain a previous frame. It's a sort of game in which we recognize ''art'' where there wasn't any intention for an artistic approach or outcome. The camera extracts and relocates the scenes in a sort of insectarium, one capable to highlight a relation beetween two questions: ''what remains?'' and ''for how long?'.
