The project Light Building draws inspiration from some questions on the cognitive and empathetic potential of the imagination.
The choice was to represent this passage through the construction of a lit building, in each window of which a negative “peers out”. The images are from photo projects in the United States, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
The aim is to “open” the world in that building also through sound, which aims at recreating the atmosphere and state of mind of each place and each life story.
Light Building is a critical document portraying the building, the sky, human relationships, diversity in a situation of danger. On the one hand there is the risk they may become only “imaginable”, on the other the building proposes a strong image of peoples, communities and humanity potentially gifted with such richness as to be able to create the solid base
for an awareness of themselves which would enable them to manage and manipulate virtual worlds too.
