UNTITLED

_Autops.ia is a visual and auditory experience that invites the_

_viewer to confront the complexity and brutality of cancer. The AI-_

_generated images, rich with emotional intensity, evoke a sense of_

_discomfort and unease. The combination of contrasting elements,_

_such as the sweetness of the colors and the violence of the_

_imagery, creates a disturbing experience that engages the viewer_

_on a deep level. The monotonous voice, reciting a mantra about_

_the immortality of cancer cells, generates a hypnotic and_

_obsessive atmosphere, amplifying the sense of anguish and_

_helplessness._

_Anatom.ia is an immersive video installation that, through a_

_hypnotic narrative loop animated with artificial intelligence,_

_reveals the power of childhood in shaping our adult identity. The_

_video takes us on a visceral journey through the stages of human_

_development, showing how traumatic experiences in early_

_childhood can leave indelible marks on our unconscious. From_

_family, where we first learn our roles, to love, where we try to_

_recreate familiar emotional patterns, to school and therapy, we_

_are constantly shaped by educational models that are often rigid_

_and conforming._

_An aesthetic that oscillates between the fragility of origami and_

_the rigidity of plastic transforms the work into a bitter and_

_grotesque fairy tale, where beauty merges with horror._

Anatom.ia

_Under Every Skin can be considered a psychological/artistic short film featuring_

_Francesca Pellegrini, known as Stelladiplastica. The video explores how our_

_character and early experiences shape each of us, leading to existential_

_discomfort that can evolve into various forms of psychological suffering. It also_

_presents a possible way out: awareness, which is often attained through pain,_

_driving us to understand who we are—even when we don't want to. Awareness_

_leads to radical change: shedding our skin, transforming our very nature. Like a_

_snake shedding its old skin, we are able to rediscover our true form, our_

_essence as unique human beings._

Under Every Skin

_House is a psychological art video that explores the theme of_

_existential apathy. It aims to make visible the suffering and paralysis_

_experienced when we feel trapped in a state of mental and_

_emotional inactivity. Staying still, stuck in bed, thinking about all the_

_things we wanted to do, is like living solely in our own head—_

_constantly comparing ourselves to others, feeding the emptiness_

_and frustration. This emptiness grows until it becomes suffocating,_

_stealing our breath._

_For me, the home is the perfect place to represent depression: it is_

_the space where we retreat, where no one can see us, where_

_loneliness intensifies. A home that becomes increasingly_

_claustrophobic as the inner void grows, making us forget that we_

_can still breathe, that we can still live._

House

_Aride is a brief visual sequence that, in just a few_

_moments, immerses us in a contrast between life and_

_death, nature and destruction. Images of a woman, a_

_metaphor for the Earth, wrapped in minimal_

_vegetation, alternate with scenes of devastating fires,_

_suffering animals, and barren landscapes. The beauty_

_of nature collides with the brutality of human action,_

_creating a profound visual and emotional impact. The_

_final image of the woman bleeding, with burned trees_

_adhering to her skin, underscores the intimate_

_connection between humanity and the environment,_

_as well as the devastating consequences of our_

_indifference._
