Project: BEHIND
“Behind” tells of the Palestinian situation developed “behind…”; behind a wall; inquisitively analysing motives and consequences of the occupation of a territory. From a comprehensive, honest viewpoint, we are shown how the control of natural resources, specifically WATER is the catalyst - among other causes - for a series of events that have led a group of people to live behind a concrete wall, overcoming the day to day hardships with a permanent breath of hope.

Project: \"Untitled\"
Simoncini -Tangi, combine art with nature and technology creating videos, photos and special installations. They explore the concept of time, in its psychological, physical, scientific and natural dimensions. In this artwork, they are attention from water. The fluidity of the water suggests a sense of continuity and infinity: nature teaches us that the reality we are belonging to is continuously changing, but still following a constant and cyclic rhythm. In fact everything affecting our senses is fated to change, sometimes quickly, other times slowly: death creates life and vice versa. Nature appears like the \"science \" of life, which works with harshness and knowledge, nothing is left to chance: everything is used to create and maintain the equilibrium of the whole world. Jellyfishes move by millions in the Atlantic Ocean and their fate depends on the sea currents and the winds: they could remain in the open sea or they could be crammed in few days in ocean\'s dephts. However, while they are sinking they carry carbon dioxide absorbed from the superficy of the water, and in this way they avoid gas turning back to the atmosphere

Project : Kaos
“ Kaos” is a film based on the earliest condition of the Universe, before matter and the lower atmosphere that surrounds the earth. Kaos is the great void of emptiness within the Universe. The film symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, and shows the relationship between the body and the natural environment representing the extremes of emotion by the loss of the body.

Project: Paper Video
Paper Video is a video work conceptualized with images from newspapers. I collected newspapers during 3 months when I was on my way to work. There are many free newspapers that one can pick up on the metro, train stations, malls, shops, etc. All these newspapers have something in common: they put together all kinds of news, from the most banal article to items of news such as wars, politics, social, etc. Sports, politics, natural disasters, sensationalist journalism, or art articles are mixed all together. These newspapers are made to be read quickly, they are full of color and big letters and advertisings overtake most of the pages. This is the way millions of people apprehend what is happing in the world. Every item of news come together as they were all the same, the information becomes this way banal and superficial; it is read like advertising or a TV show. The video is one single long take, it’s a camera traveling that explores a black space full of images that come and go. The camera floats through images which are empty of significance and are located in nowhere. The audio is a sound composition made with sounds from TV news.

Project: Invasion of the intimate
A building in ruins, desolate changing rooms, an indiscrete window that turns us into voyeurs, a person taking a shower fully dressed... The invasion of the intimate presents itself like an unfinished dream, a state of vigil, between reality and fiction, a landscape desolated by ruins and failures of the soul, of secrets, of darkness and decay. The video is based on contradictions that create an unreal space, a visual lie, a metaphor of the inscrutable interior of the subject. In it, the viewer is given the position of violator of an intimate act, while the exposed subject shows that she is aware of her punishment by looking directly at the camera, and her shame becomes an exhibition in itself, breaking with the taboos of behaviour, that make what is secret and forbidden so complex.
