Silent Barriers was conceived during the lockdown days in February-March 2020.
Everything appeared to evolve around distance and borders. The image I have still vivid in my mind and that i won’ t forget were a daughter and a father standing away from each other, close, but separated on the two sides of a confinement area. The scene happened in Codogno, the first city in Italy becoming a red zone.
They were close but yet the distance appeared to be deeper. Divided by an invisible barrier, they couldn’t touch each other.
“Silent barriers” is a work about borders. It is the product of a reflection on the invisible barriers that seem to divide us; it could be something so tiny to be invisible, like a virus, a political barrier or worst of all, an ethnical discrimination.
It is fascinating and yet odd to see how borders are just like invisible conventions, able to radically affect attitude of people that automatically fit into such aleatory structures.
