SPAZIO CHE CHIACCHIERA II
Interactive sculpture
33x35x17 cm + black base 59x66x7 cm
Black chamotte, interactive algorithm, audio
recordings
2024
”Spazio che chiacchiera II” is an interactive sound
sculpture born from one of my most unforgettable
experiences at the artist residency Domaine de
Boisbuchet.
The work is a living soundscape of the marshland,
capturing the delicate and dynamic behavior of
frogs in spring. The sculpture “sings” with the active
voices of marsh creatures when left alone, but
when it senses someone approaching, it mimics the
cautious behavior of frogs, falling silent. It resumes
its “chatter” only when it feels safe and unobserved.
I was deeply struck by the powerful chorus of
frogs near my atelier, which inspired me to sculpt
directly within the marshes, seeking to capture
their soundscape within the work itself. During
this experience, I encountered not only intensely
green frogs but also a hunting hawk and a wild
boar, both just a few meters away. The hawk
noticed me only at the last moment, startled by my
presence as it took flight, while the boar curiously
sniffed my traces before returning to the forest.
These moments, under the dawn of an almost full
moon, created a complete immersion in nature—
an immersion I hope to have sealed within this
sculpture, along with a few native plants
