Engraving on aluminum, ornamental hooks in painted iron.

Various sizes.

Spettro is a series of installations that creates a dialogue between human language and algorithmic language, questioning the way in which experience is translated, measured, and returned by contemporary systems. Each intervention consists of pairs of sentences that describe the same phenomenon through two different registers: one poetic and perceptive, open to imagination, and one technical, analytical, and impersonal.

The sentences are chosen in relation to the context in which the work is exhibited and, when juxtaposed, generate a continuous reading that takes the form of a material poem. In an exhibition setting, the work activates inner images and a slower, more reflective dimension of observation; in infrastructural contexts, such as an airport, the language relates to the experience of travel, transit, and the control systems that regulate the flow and presence of bodies in space.

The materials also participate in this comparison. The engraved aluminum, cold and industrial, recalls functional surfaces and technical recording processes, while the vintage ornamental hooks introduce a warm and familiar element. This tension between cold and warm, calculation and imagination, reinforces the dialogue between the two languages and makes their coexistence visible.
