6 SALA GIOCCHI Multidisciplinary project ongoing SALA GIOCCHI is a virtual space, a mini casino in which human and inhuman relations are brought into play. SALA GIOCCHI is the place of excess where one can reach the no substance related addiction. SALA GIOCCHI is a constant questioning about the fragility of human relationships in the contemporary world, the pathological relationship with the machine becomes a pretext to stage, through performances, an age of superstition, guilt, loss and paranoia. Come and visit us, we expect many!

11 BATON SINISTER or How Subcultures Could Forge Transversal Heroes is an installation conceived for the collective exhibition Baton Sinister, Norway Pavilion in the 54ˆEsposizione Internazionle d Arte di Venezia. Researches where inspired and supported by Bjarne Melgaard, norwegian artist based in New York. The starting point was a study of queer theory with a sensible attention to queercore subculture, that working with the Do It Yourself ethic and fighting against the tradition matches with the punk culture. My focus here is on the Barebacking subculture, the practice of having unprotected sex with the risk or the will of spreading the HIV virus. The study of heraldry becomes useful to build up an iconography made concrete throw the realization of two shields which represent the concepts of COOL and UNCOOL and a banner, the QUEERCORE. Two posters, BAREBACKERS GENEALOGIC TREE and MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES, commemorate heroes which, according to the mainstream culture may not even be considered as such, while an installation within a bathroom, TOILET, becomes a shrine in their honor.

14 La Sindrome di Cassandra La Sindrome di Cassandra #1 video 1 37 #2 Photomontage Poster 50x70 Postcards 11x15,5 cm La Sindrome di Cassandra is the talent of imagining new worlds, foreseeing unthinkable scenarios and the destiny to not be believed. Just tell people only what they want to hear, tell them stories they want to believe to. It s important to have someone who talks about evident realities. Everything else is pure madness, they will never believe you. #2

15 La Sindrome di Cassandra is an ongoing project settled by many parts destined to evolve in order to create an imaginary panorama representing an unreal event. The newsstory images collected represent an apocalyptic sight on future, they are ready to become commodities to be sold on market: #1 video, editing with the use of found footage from youtube that shows the catastrophe. #2 photomontage, reproducible in postcard 11x15,5 or poster 50x70 created to be sold as souvenir of the future Venice. These finds will be useful to enhance the prophesy of an apocalyptic scenario, the death of Venice that just like Atlantis, is destined to sink in the abyss. #1
