From the Observations on nature series (‘Osservazioni sulla natura’), this installation, despite its artificiality, was also approached as if it were a natural phenomenon. A large wedge seems to have risen up from underground, splitting up the line of monitors. It is a composite mass that becomes disturbing when luminous matter begins to flow like lava on the screens. This artificial volcano is capable of sucking up people, buildings and objects into its opening at the top and propelling them across the screens that drift towards another dimension. The natural and artificial merge in this staging. All that is domestic is devoured and turns out to be just as destructive as other ‘savage’ things.
