Sixty seconds is the time it takes to leave your home before a bomb burns it to the ground; this is the so-called bombing technique called “roof-knocking” (knocking on the roof), used for the first time by the Israeli army in Gaza, a sort of “blank shot” that warns the occupants of a certain building that soon a real missile will hit them inexorably.
This work, thanks to a synaesthetic approach designed to directly stimulate multiple senses (sight, touch and hearing), wants to capture the viewer quickly and immediately, arousing in it a feeling of participation and sharing of a daily dramatic reality. and only apparently distant. In other words, with this work the artist projects us into a precise, present story.
Inside there is a sound of war, inside there is a sickness that no one hears. Inside it explodes like a bomb. Inside you no longer want to be. Inside it is sixty seconds which seems like an eternity.
The purpose of this work is to arouse a feeling of empathy, the only one capable of encouraging the emergence of a conscious critical awareness.
