Her research focuses on the geography of memory related with the present moment, the boundaries between self and space, and the function of memory in the process of one’s identity formation. Her artistic practice is articulated through different languages and mediums ranging from photography to moving images, from installation to sound. L’architettura sonora delle Relazioni is an interactive installation that generates a sound composition translating the movements of the viewer into real-time sound, as if the space between persons and the place they experience could be made tangible by means of sound. A changing and malleable sculpture with endless combination possibilities. Me, looking at my parents from 210 meters high and 60-steps, is a video in which the artist defines the coordinates of distance from which you look at the relationship with parents, research continues in the video Famille Lovichi, where she completed a performative act on the grave of her French family, is a resolution that the installation Modello A is to document the legal and bureaucratic process to get the mother’s surname (French) added to paternal surname (Italian) that was assigned at birth.
