Gianluca Ferrari has worked on themes such as light, cinematographic projection,
the female face and exhibitionism, developing a personal interpretation using video
and video-installation, tools of expression that he frequently uses in his works.
The piece becomes a visual and conceptual journey in which the elements
of light and dark
deconstruct the identity of the subject to create a new image and a personal
imaginary image.
Light and dark are used as instruments to create a structural metamorphosis
of both form and gestures to create a new subject, able to interact with the viewers
on several levels of understanding.
